Tappy vs Compose AI

Both write for you in the browser. Compose AI is an account-based assistant built mainly around Gmail. Tappy runs on your own AI key, costs nothing, and works on LinkedIn too.

Free. You bring your own AI key, so there is no subscription.

The difference in the words

Same message, two replies

Tappy reads the message first, so the reply is about that message.

LinkedIn comment

Typical AI reply

Congratulations — this is not just a feature, it is a testament to a team that truly listens. Kudos to everyone involved on this well-deserved milestone.

The tell

Em dash, "not just X, it is Y", praise that fits under any post

Tappy

200+ requests and you finally shipped it, nice. The small features are usually the ones people quietly wanted most.

Email reply

Typical AI reply

Thank you so much for reaching out — I would be delighted to assist. Happy to help here, and looking forward to connecting soon.

The tell

Padding, no actual answer, and a vague wrap-up closer

Tappy

Thursday at 3pm works for me. I will send the updated timeline beforehand so we can go through it on the call.

In short

Where Tappy is different

It does not read like AI

It answers what is actually in the message, instead of praise that would fit under anything.

Free because you bring the key

No subscription, no account, and the key never leaves your browser.

Add Tappy to Chrome

Try it on your next reply and see how it reads.
