What is this tool?
Most useful to someone who answers a lot of email and wants replies that sound like them without handing over their inbox: the generator and pasted style examples need no mailbox connection. Before paying or connecting a work mailbox, confirm what your plan includes and read the permission screen the connection asks you to accept.

Word.now works at three depths. The generator needs no account and no mailbox: you describe the reply and copy out the result. An account adds a reply identity built from examples you paste, so drafts pick up your tone and sign-offs. Connecting a mailbox lets it read incoming and sent mail and save drafts to your Drafts folder. Microsoft 365 organisations may need an IT admin to approve the app first, and IMAP connections use your server details and password, which Word.now says it encrypts at rest. All of it runs in the browser; the how-it-works page says there is nothing to download and no browser extension.
Is this right for you?
Quick fit check against how you actually work.
Choose this if
- You want replies that sound like you and are willing to paste a few past replies to teach it your style
- You would rather not connect your mailbox at all: the generator and pasted examples work without inbox access
- You are on Gmail, Outlook or an IMAP provider such as Fastmail or iCloud and want drafts waiting in your Drafts folder to review
- You would like to try it without anything being kept: the privacy policy says text entered in the free generator is not stored after the reply is returned
Consider alternatives if
- You want email answered for you: Word.now writes drafts only, and you review and send every one
- You need a desktop app, a mobile app or a browser extension: Word.now describes itself as a web tool with nothing to install
- You are connecting a work mailbox and need a precise statement of the access it takes first: its terms, privacy policy and Outlook page describe that access differently, so check the permission screen and confirm with Word.now
- Your replies deal with legal, medical, financial or HR matters: Word.now says it does not claim to be appropriate for sensitive communications and warns against using it for them without careful review
- You need team seats at a published price: the Team plan is quoted on request
Key features
What you can actually do with this tool.
A reply generator with no sign-up
On the free generator page you choose a goal, tone, recipient type and length, describe the points in plain words rather than pasting the original email, and copy out a reply to edit and send.
A reply identity built from your own replies
Paste three to ten replies you have written and Word.now derives a style profile: formality, warmth and directness scores, your usual greetings and sign-offs, and typical length. Drafts are shaped to match, with one identity per account.
Drafts filed in your inbox, if you connect it
Connect Gmail or Outlook through Google or Microsoft sign-in, or a provider such as Yahoo Mail, Fastmail or iCloud over IMAP, and Word.now saves reply drafts to your Drafts folder; the pricing page lists sorting incoming mail with Word.now's own labels as a Pro feature.
Sending stays with you
Every reply is a draft for you to review. The Gmail and Outlook pages say no permission to send is requested; the only sending route described is an optional SMTP setup on IMAP accounts that you choose to use.

Frequently asked
Common questions about this tool, answered.
What does the free plan include?
There is a standing free plan, and the reply generator needs no account at all. Beyond that, Word.now's pages disagree: the pricing page shows 10 AI draft replies a day and one connected inbox and marks inbox sorting as Pro only; the terms set a monthly limit for inbox drafts and call inbox connection a Pro feature; the Gmail page says the free plan includes sorting and drafts; and the pricing page itself says both that you can build your style profile free and that Pro adds style learning. Confirm with Word.now what your plan includes before you depend on it.
Can I cancel Pro, and are there refunds?
You can cancel from your account dashboard at any time; the terms say cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and there are no pro-rata refunds for part periods unless consumer law requires one.
Does Word.now read my email?
Only if you connect a mailbox. A connected Gmail, Outlook or IMAP account is read so it can save drafts; the terms call this read-only access, while the Outlook page lists the Mail.ReadWrite permission it requests. Replies are generated through the OpenAI API, and the privacy policy says Word.now does not use your reply examples for AI training.
Who runs Word.now?
The terms say it is operated by Word.now from the United Kingdom, under the laws of England and Wales. No registered company name or address is given on its terms, privacy policy, contact or about pages; the privacy policy names Word.now as the data controller.
