🚀 Big news: AI Drafts (beta) are now live for early users!
As of today, HeyHelp can draft replies to your emails, just like a real executive assistant would.
Your AI knowledge page
: We’ve added a place for you to tell HeyHelp about your role, company, tone, and preferences. The more context you give, the better your replies will sound: in your voice, with the right level of formality and detail.
Replies only when needed:
HeyHelp only drafts emails that genuinely require a response. If key info is missing or something’s unclear, it adds placeholders for you to review, just like a smart assistant would.
‘HH-Draft’ tag:
All AI-generated drafts are automatically tagged with ‘HH-Draft’ so you can easily find, review, and track them separately from your own.
Your inbox assistant just got even smarter. Here’s a quick roundup of the latest updates and improvements.
Google verification process
The technical side of our Google verification is now complete! We’re currently awaiting the final Letter of Authorization (LOA) before wrapping up the full approval process.
Smarter tagging logic:
We’ve refined how Hey Help applies AI tags, so it focuses only where it matters:
  • Now only tags emails in your INBOX and SENT folders
  • No more tagging Drafts
  • No more tagging emails that skip the inbox via Gmail filters
This means more relevant tagging, and more optimized usage.
Smoother Onboarding for API Keys
We now show a clearer error message if your OpenAI or Anthropic key is missing a payment method or credits (plus a Help Center article to walk you through the fix).
Your Gmail labels, now visible on your email list
Previously, Hey Help hid your existing Gmail labels in your list of emails. We’ve changed that so your existing labels are not affected.
We just dropped a new post on why Hey Help uses a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) approach, and how it benefits users (not just the tech folks).
↳ Hey Help now learns from your manual tag corrections, making the AI smarter and more accurate over time. The more you use it, the better it gets at adapting to your unique inbox style.
↳ The lifetime deal is still available, but prices are going up soon!
↳ Insights from our first 7 days in private beta — from onboarding and UI/UX tweaks to performance improvements.
↳ We just hit 100 lifetime deal paying users 🎉
↳ Self-learning: How we're creating (and automating) feedback loops for continuous improvement of our AI features.
↳ AI knowledge section: Teach your AI about you, your business, and your customers for smarter email drafting.
↳ Beta now available: Hey Help is now available to test! 🎉
↳ AI Provider Selection Flow: an update on the AI provider selection flow (based on feedback following previous video).
↳ AI tagging behind the scenes: we’re now handling evolving threads with dynamic re-categorization (like Action required → Awaiting reply → Resolved).
↳ Introducing auto-archiving: this simple feature enables users to take control of their inboxes, by choosing what stays front and center and what can quietly wait in the background.
We’re wrapping up the onboarding and account setup flow, and testing a new feature: letting users select their preferred AI provider during setup.
This means you’ll be able to choose from OpenAI (ChatGPT), Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), or Mistral, so your Gmail assistant runs on the AI that suits you best.
Introducing our AI tagging categories. Got feedback? Let us know!
Today we're showing off our new interface, where users can manage their preferences and Hey Help accounts ✨.
Hey Help is coming to life 🚀.
