# Email Reply Generator Chrome Extension
A Chrome extension that enhances Gmail with AI-powered email reply generation using Google's Gemini API.
## Overview
This project integrates with Gmail to provide one-click AI-generated email responses. When replying to an email in Gmail, the extension adds an "AI Reply" button that analyzes the email content and generates a contextually appropriate response using the Gemini API.
## Project Structure
The project consists of three main components:
### Backend (email-writer-sb)
- Spring Boot application that handles communication with the Gemini API
- RESTful endpoints for processing email content and generating replies
- Key components:
- `EmailWriterController`: REST controller handling requests
- `EmailWriterService`: Business logic for email processing
- `EmailRequest`: Data model for incoming requests
### Frontend (email-writer-react)
- React application for development and testing
- Contains:
- `App.jsx`: Main application component
- `App.css`: Styling
- `index.css`: Global styles
- `main.jsx`: Entry point
### Chrome Extension (email-writer-ext)
- Contains extension-specific files:
- `manifest.json`: Extension configuration
- `content.js`: DOM manipulation and backend communication
- `content.css`: Styling for injected UI elements
## Features
- Seamlessly integrates with Gmail's interface
- Activates only on mail.google.com domains
- Monitors only the active tab for privacy
- Adds an "AI Reply" button to Gmail's compose toolbox
- Extracts email content for context-aware replies
- Generates human-like responses using Gemini AI
- Inserts generated content directly into the compose box
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Java 17 for Spring Boot
- Node.js and npm for React
- Google Chrome browser
- Gemini API key
### Backend Setup
1. Navigate to the `email-writer-sb` directory
2. Add your Gemini API key to `application.properties`
3. Run the Spring Boot application:
```
./mvnw spring-boot:run
```
### Chrome Extension Installation
1. Open Chrome and navigate to `chrome://extensions/`
2. Enable "Developer mode" (toggle in the top-right)
3. Click "Load unpacked" and select the `email-writer-ext` directory
4. The extension should now be installed and active when visiting Gmail
## Usage
1. Navigate to Gmail in Chrome
2. Open an email you want to reply to
3. Click the "Reply" button as normal
4. Note the new "AI Reply" button added to the compose toolbox
5. Click "AI Reply" to generate a response based on the email content
6. Edit the generated reply if needed, then send
## Development

cd email-writer-react
npm install
npm run dev
```
