I used Ambient from
@vellum_ai on a real inbox pass this afternoon, not a demo.
14 unread in Gmail. Three actually needed a reply: a client asking for a revised quote, a freelancer waiting on a start date, and a partner chasing a one-line confirmation.
Double tapped Fn, shared the Gmail tab, and said: draft replies for the three threads on screen. Keep them short. Do not send.
What it did - Read the three open threads instead of asking me to paste them
Circled the line in the client email where they asked for 12% off
Dropped a draft that offered 8% if they sign this week
Filled the other two reply boxes as well
The first client draft opened like a template. I circled that sentence and said write it the way I talk. Second pass was fine.
Held Fn and spoke one last edit straight into the reply field. I hit send myself on all three.
As a result three replies ready in about 6 minutes. Nothing left the inbox without me.
