Early users → unexpected bottleneck: email replies taking 1–2h/day — how do you handle this?

I’m in early stages and started getting some users recently.

One thing I didn’t expect: how much time goes into email replies.

It’s not even complex — mostly repetitive things: confirming details, answering similar questions, rephrasing the same info slightly differently.

Some days it’s easily 1–2 hours just on this.

I tried basic templates, but I still end up rewriting depending on context.

I’m not at a stage where I want to introduce a full CRM or hire someone just for this.

Curious how others handled this early on — did you just accept it, or is there a lightweight way to reduce the time?

I built an AI that replies to my emails. Would you use this?

I got tired of replying to emails every single day…

So I built a Chrome extension that writes replies for me using AI.

You just click a button and it generates a full reply instantly.

Honestly, it's been saving me a lot of time already.

Not sure if this is something others would find useful…

Would you use something like this?
