Developer Launches Mae, an AI Assistant That Replies to Messages in User's Voice

A developer has introduced Mae, a new artificial intelligence tool designed to automate personal messaging while preserving the user's unique writing style. Created to address the issue of delayed responses damaging relationships, Mae connects to platforms like Gmail, WhatsApp, and Slack. Unlike generic AI writing assistants, Mae is trained on the user's historical messages, segmented by relationship type, to differentiate between tones used for close friends versus professional contacts. The system employs a confidence scoring mechanism that automatically sends high-confidence drafts while routing uncertain responses to the user for review. This feature allows users to tune the automation threshold, shifting the workflow from reviewing every message to trusting the AI for appropriate interactions. The tool aims to solve the problem of generic-sounding AI replies by ensuring recipients cannot distinguish the AI-generated text from human writing. Mae is currently available at runmae.ai, targeting individuals seeking productivity improvements without sacrificing personal connection authenticity. The project highlights advancements in personalized machine learning models and their application in daily communication management.
