Show HN: I Built a Gemini 2.5 Pro Chrome Extension for Effortless Email Drafting

After one long week fighting email overload, I built an AI Chrome extension that drafts replies for me. I was spending way too much time just trying to find the right words. So, I hacked together a little tool. It looks at the email and, using the smarts of gemini-2.5-pro, writes a draft. The basic bits are in popup.js ,manifest.json and popup.html for the simple interface. It’s surprisingly good at getting the tone right and saves me a bunch of time every day. I’ve been using it myself and it's cut my email time by maybe 20-30% already. Would love to hear what you think and if it helps anyone else drowning in their inbox.
