I built a small tool to reply faster to emails and DMs

Hey Indie Hackers đź‘‹

I recently reached a point where I was getting a lot of similar questions via email, chat, and DMs.

I kept rewriting the same calm, professional replies over and over, and it started to feel like a waste of time.

So I built a small tool, Reply Helper, to generate quick, professional responses…

It’s not meant to replace human judgment — just to speed things up.

There’s a free version with a daily limit, and a paid version for people who handle a lot of messages every day.

This is still early, and I’d really love feedback:
– Would this be useful for you?
– What kind of messages do you reply to most often?

Thanks for reading 🙏

    This is a neat idea. Who are you thinking as some potential user groups/categories?

    Interesting take. I’m actually exploring a very lightweight, reputation-first email setup for indie projects — curious how you’re handling email today?

    Quick update:
    I realized most of my own use is replying to support emails and “same question again” DMs.
    Curious if others struggle more with sales, support, or community messages.
