To write emails even easier and faster, you can add the AI Email Assistant to your Webmail. This innovative tool allows you to generate texts, translations and summaries of your emails automatically thanks to the support of artificial intelligence. You can learn how to do this in the article Creating texts with AI Email Assistant.

Please note that the AI Email Assistant is a paid plugin and is not included in the standard version of Webmail. For instructions on how to add it to your Webmail, please see the article Adding the AI Email Assistant to Webmail.
