  description

  Stop staring at the blank message box. ReplyGuy lives in your browser sidebar and generates polished, personalized reply drafts in seconds — so you can respond faster without sounding like everyone else.
  
  Whether you're nurturing a sales pipeline, networking after a conference, or just trying to get through your LinkedIn inbox before lunch, ReplyGuy has your back.
  
  ────────────────────────────────────
  ✦ WHY REPLYGUY?
  ────────────────────────────────────
  
  You know the feeling: someone sends you a thoughtful message on LinkedIn or Gmail, and you want to reply well — but you've already written a dozen messages today and your brain is tapped out. Or maybe it's the opposite: the message is tricky, and you don't want to fumble the tone.
  
  ReplyGuy solves both problems. It reads the conversation, understands the context, and generates up to five distinct reply options — each one tuned to your voice, your positioning, and your preferred style. You pick the one that fits, tweak it if you want, and send.
  
  The result? Faster replies. Better replies. Replies that actually sound like you.
  
  ────────────────────────────────────
  ⚡ QUICK REPLY — ONE CLICK, DONE
  ────────────────────────────────────
  
  Don't even want to think about it? Hit Quick Reply. ReplyGuy extracts the conversation, generates a draft, and inserts it directly into the message composer — all in a single click. You just review and hit send.
  
  Quick Reply works on both LinkedIn and Gmail. It's the fastest path from "new message" to "replied."
  
  ────────────────────────────────────
  ✦ GENERATE UP TO 5 DISTINCT DRAFTS
  ────────────────────────────────────
  
  Not sure which angle to take? Generate multiple drafts at once and compare. ReplyGuy produces genuinely different replies — not variations of the same sentence — so you always have options.
  
  Each generation run also surfaces a Recommended Draft: the one the AI thinks is strongest for this specific conversation. It's a great starting point when you're in a hurry.
  
  ────────────────────────────────────
  🎛️ TONE CONTROLS THAT ACTUALLY WORK
  ────────────────────────────────────
  
  Every conversation has a different vibe. ReplyGuy gives you one-tap tone adjustments so you can dial in the right feel:
  
  → Shorter — trim it down when brevity is the point
  → Warmer — add some human warmth for relationship-building messages
  → More Direct — cut the fluff and get straight to it
  → End with a Question — keep the conversation going naturally
  
  Set a default Tone Preset that applies automatically to every generation, or adjust on the fly per message. You're in control of the voice — ReplyGuy just does the writing.
  
  ────────────────────────────────────
  ✦ SOUNDS LIKE YOU, NOT A BOT
  ────────────────────────────────────
  
  The best AI replies are the ones nobody knows are AI-assisted. ReplyGuy achieves this by loading your personal context into every generation:
  
  • Your bio and professional positioning
  • What you offer and how you help people
  • Your preferred sign-off style
  • Your website URL
  • Your calendar link (optionally appended to replies)
  • Your resume / CV (uploaded once, referenced as needed)
  
  Toggle any of these on or off right from the side panel — so you can include your calendar link when following up on a sales conversation, and omit it when you're just catching up with an old colleague.
  
  ────────────────────────────────────
  📋 FULL SYSTEM PROMPT CONTROL
  ────────────────────────────────────
  
  Power users, this one's for you. ReplyGuy gives you full access to the system prompt that guides how the AI writes. Don't like how it handles certain types of messages? Rewrite the rules. Want it to always end with a CTA? Add it. Prefer a blunter, no-nonsense style? Set it.
  
  The default prompt is calibrated for professional LinkedIn and Gmail communication — helpful, human, and never salesy. But if your style is different, the full system prompt editor gives you complete control.
  
  ────────────────────────────────────
  👤 PROFILE MANAGEMENT
  ────────────────────────────────────
  
  Different hats for different days. Save multiple named profiles and switch between them with one click:
  
  • "Founder mode" — with your startup pitch, equity story, and investor-friendly tone
  • "Consultant mode" — focused on your service offerings and booking link
  • "Job search mode" — with your resume context front and center
  • "Casual networking" — lighter bio, warmer sign-off
  
  Each profile stores your full configuration: system prompt, bio, positioning, offerings, calendar link, website, sign-off, and context toggles. Load any profile instantly and your next generation reflects that persona.
  
  ────────────────────────────────────
  📁 RESUME / CV INTEGRATION
  ────────────────────────────────────
  
  Upload your resume once (PDF or DOCX) and ReplyGuy extracts the text and makes it available as AI context. When you're applying for roles, following up after interviews, or introducing yourself to new connections, your experience and credentials are baked right into the draft.
  
  Toggle resume context on or off per session depending on what the conversation calls for.
  
  ────────────────────────────────────
  🗂️ CONTACT HISTORY & MANAGEMENT
  ────────────────────────────────────
  
  ReplyGuy remembers who you've talked to. Every time you extract a conversation, the contact is automatically saved with their message history — up to 20 recent messages per contact. The next time you're messaging the same person, ReplyGuy already knows the context.
  
  Contact management features:
  • Automatic saving on extract — zero manual work
  • Smart deduplication by thread URL and message content
  • Inline editing — update contact role or company on the spot
  • Search and filter to find anyone fast
  • Export all contacts as JSON for backup or analysis
  • Import contacts in bulk to restore or migrate
  
  ────────────────────────────────────
  🔗 WORKS ON LINKEDIN & GMAIL
  ────────────────────────────────────
  
  ReplyGuy is built for the two platforms where professional conversations happen most:
  
  LINKEDIN
  → Extracts full conversation threads from LinkedIn Messaging
  → Inserts generated replies directly into the LinkedIn composer
  → Handles conversation history and contact context automatically
  → Works on all LinkedIn message types
  
  GMAIL
  → Reads your email thread with full context
  → Auto-clicks Reply to open the Gmail composer
  → Inserts your chosen draft — ready to review and send
  → Handles HTML email formatting and URL preservation
  
  URLs in generated replies are automatically converted to clickable links when inserted — no manual formatting needed.
  
  ────────────────────────────────────
  🤖 POWERED BY STATE-OF-THE-ART AI
  ────────────────────────────────────
  
  ReplyGuy is powered by state-of-the-art AI, fully managed for you. No API keys to configure, no provider accounts to set up. Install the extension, add your profile, and start generating. The AI is ready when you are.
  
  ────────────────────────────────────
  🔒 PRIVACY FIRST
  ────────────────────────────────────
  
  ReplyGuy is built with your privacy in mind:
  
  • Your profile data and preferences are stored locally in your browser — on your device only
  • No account creation required
  • No third-party analytics on your message content
  • Contact data is stored locally — not sold or shared
  
  You own your data. ReplyGuy is a tool, not a platform that monetizes your conversations.
  
  ────────────────────────────────────
  🛡️ RELIABLE BY DESIGN
  ────────────────────────────────────
  
  LinkedIn and Gmail update their interfaces constantly. ReplyGuy is built to handle it:
  
  → Multiple DOM selector fallbacks for robust extraction even when platforms change their markup
  → Truncated response recovery — handles incomplete AI responses gracefully
  → Offline-resilient — works with cached settings when connectivity is spotty
  → Fast and lightweight — built with React 19 and Vite for a snappy sidebar experience
