How are you handling the formatting and tone part of the email so that it doesn't sound like AI? I've tried to use AI tools for email multiple times but always end up significantly editing or rewriting the email myself.

Yeah - April learns how you speak/correct your emails - it picks up your writing patterns and keeps evolving. The more you use it, the more it sounds like you rather than generic AI.

Can you explain a bit more about this? Are you building a profile of what I write and who I write it to? Fetching relevant examples and passing that through some (cloud?) LLM when writing the email?

I'm definitely curious on the technicals but there is also a bit of a trust element here - both on trusting that my email (likely some of my most sensitive data) is handled with care and trust that the actual responses are phrased well.

Sure, the data stored are (User's relation to the sender) + tone + way of writing.

None of the email's actual content is/will be stored (Goes against gmail's compliance)

Your privacy policy and security page say you do not use any user data for training, it also says you don't store any user data. How do you square that with this comment?
