A college student, Matt Schumer,20 has launched a Long Island artificial intelligence startup that writes emails automatically from fragmentary notes.
The software is undergoing beta-testing as a Chrome browser extension for Gmail users. Versions for Microsoft Corp.’s are also underway.
Shumar says the software can expand bullet points into a full email, which sounds like you wrote it yourself.

Vahid Behzadan, professor of computer and data science at the University of New Haven, said that Gmail and other email providers already offer to finish users’ sentences with autocomplete features.
