These 5 free AI-powered Chrome extensions make Gmail so much better

Email: It’s one of the more evil of the necessary evils. We all spend a significant chunk of our days wading through messages, to the point that it can feel like a never-ending task. Save us, artificial intelligence!

The good news: AI is revolutionizing how we interact with our email. And the best part? Many AI email tools offer free tiers that are actually useful.

If you’re looking to supercharge your Gmail experience, reclaim your time, and take a bit of work out of your workflow, look no further.

Compose AI: Effortless email drafting

Ah, the dreaded blank email draft. Thanks to AI, its days are fortunately numbered.

The Compose AI extension integrates directly into your Gmail compose window and offers intelligent suggestions as you type.

Simply provide a few keywords or a brief description of what you want to say, and watch the AI craft a well-written draft for you.

There’s also a super handy one-click email-reply feature, which suggests quick replies based on the context of messages you receive.

The free version offers 1,500 AI-generated words per month, while premium plans unlock additional generations and access to more advanced writing styles. Paid plans start around $10 per month.

InboxPurge: Cut the clutter

An overflowing inbox can be a needless source of stress, but AI-powered extensions are stepping in to help you regain control.

InboxPurge offers a free plan focused on helping you declutter your Gmail.

It uses AI to identify and categorize emails and allows you to quickly unsubscribe from identified newsletters and delete or archive entire categories of messages.

InboxPurge offers 20 free cleanup actions each month, while premium plans start at $4 per month and unlock more advanced automation features. There’s also a onetime $5 plan that unlocks all features for a week—perfect for periodic binge-decluttering sessions.

Mailmeteor: Enhance email productivity

Mailmeteor is primarily a mail-merge tool, with a free plan that offers features for boosting your email productivity and organization.

Use it to send follow-up emails at the perfect time, even if you’re not online. With the free plan, you can run three campaigns concurrently and send 50 personalized emails each day to multiple recipients.

Paid plans start at $5 per month and unlock higher sending limits for mail merge, more detailed tracking features, the ability to personalize emails with more variables, and integrations with other tools.

Concisely: Summarize emails automatically

Don’t have time to read every lengthy email in detail? Neither does anybody else. That’s why AI-powered summarization tools are such lifesavers.

The free Concisely extension can quickly analyze long emails and provide you with a brief overview of the key points, boiled down to a single sentence.

It’s especially useful for newsletters, reports, or lengthy discussions where you only need the core information. The extension is free at the moment, with no paid plans available.

Grammarly: Watch your tone

AI-powered tone analysis extensions can help you communicate more effectively. Grammarly has a free version that analyzes the tone of your messages to let you know how you might sound to the person on the other end.

There are also built-in grammar-checking features, of course, which help you come across more clearly and professionally to your recipients.

The free version of Grammarly offers grammar, spelling, and punctuation checks, as well as basic tone detection, plus some limited AI text generation. Paid plans start at $12 per month and unlock more advanced tone suggestions, clarity-focused rewrites, vocabulary enhancement suggestions, and plagiarism detection.
