Question 1

What is Freestyle?

Accepted Answer

Freestyle is a Chrome extension for Gmail that handles routine responses, summarizes emails, and gets rid of junk. It's like a human personal assistant. It drafts replies in your voice, schedules meetings, unsubscribes you from newsletters in bulk, and lets you search your inbox in plain language.

Question 2

How much does Freestyle cost?

Accepted Answer

Freestyle costs $100/month, with unlimited usage for all of your Gmail accounts. You can book a demo before signing up.

Question 3

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Freestyle does not offer a free trial, but you can book a demo and see the product on your own inbox before you subscribe. The demo doubles as onboarding, so you leave the call fully set up.

Question 4

Is my email secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Freestyle has passed Google's extensive security review, and we never store your emails. They're fetched only when they're needed to do the work you want.

Question 5

Does Freestyle read or store my email?

Accepted Answer

Freestyle reads emails in realtime to draft replies and run your automations, but never stores them. One of the benefits of our product is that your messages stay in Gmail, they aren't copied to our servers or kept after a request completes.

Question 6

What Google permissions does Freestyle need, and why?

Accepted Answer

Freestyle requests a small set of Gmail and Calendar permissions to read, draft, and organize email and to find free time for meetings. Every permission we ask for, what we use it for, and what we never do with it is listed on our permissions page, and you can revoke access at any time from your Google account.

Question 7

Is my data used to train AI models?

Accepted Answer

No. Your email content is never used to train any AI model. Emails are processed only to do the work you asked for, then discarded.

Question 8

How does Freestyle draft emails in my voice?

Accepted Answer

Freestyle learns from how you already write, so drafts read like you wrote them, with no slop.

Question 9

Will Freestyle send emails by itself?

Accepted Answer

No. Freestyle drafts emails for you, but you always review the draft before it's sent. You never have to worry about the wrong message going out.

Question 10

Can Freestyle schedule meetings for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Freestyle reads the scheduling back-and-forth in a thread, checks your calendar for free time, and proposes or books the meeting for you. No more five-email volleys to find a slot.

Question 11

Can Freestyle unsubscribe me from newsletters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Freestyle scans your inbox for newsletters and mailing lists you never read and unsubscribes you in bulk with one click.

Question 12

Can I search my inbox in natural language?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ask questions like "what did the landlord say about the deposit?" and Freestyle finds the answer.

Question 13

How is Freestyle different from Superhuman?

Accepted Answer

Superhuman is a separate email client built around keyboard shortcuts to help you process email faster yourself. Freestyle predicts the action you want to take, and maps all those complicated shortcuts to one button. Everything's already done, just approve the action. Freestyle also lives within Gmail, so you and your emails never have to leave gmail.com.

Question 14

How is Freestyle different from Shortwave, Slashy, or other email clients?

Accepted Answer

Those are full email apps that replace Gmail's interface. Freestyle works inside the Gmail you already use. You keep your existing workflow, extensions, and muscle memory, and Freestyle layers an AI assistant on top. It's faster, more reliable, and your data stays in Gmail. All the powerful features, with the same familiar interface.

Question 15

Which email providers does Freestyle support?

Accepted Answer

Freestyle supports Gmail (including Google Workspace accounts). More providers are coming soon.

Question 16

Will Freestyle support Outlook?

Accepted Answer

Outlook support is on the roadmap, but Freestyle is Gmail-only today. Email founders@freestyle.ai if you want to be notified when it ships.

Question 17

How long does it take to get set up?

Accepted Answer

Most people are up and running in a few minutes: install the Chrome extension, connect your Google account, and Freestyle starts working in your existing Gmail. If you book an onboarding call, we'll teach you everything you need to know, transform your Gmail experience forever, and completely clean our your inbox in 30 minutes.

Question 18

What happened to Friday? Is Freestyle the same company?

Yes. Friday rebranded to Freestyle. Same product, same team, only the name changed. The full story is at freestyle.ai/friday.
