01 / ASK
The questionnaire
Turn a bold claim into a small paperwork adventure. A flowchart for the pitch. Another flowchart for the arrows. Perfectly polite. Slightly ridiculous.

your time.
Return the favor.
A Chrome extension that turns cold sales emails into short, politely absurd drafts. An agenda for the agenda. A summary of the summary. You review and send.

↳ finally, AI that creates work.
LESS “JUST FOLLOWING UP.”✳MORE “PLEASE SEE ATTACHED.”✳SHORT REPLY. LONG ASSIGNMENT.✳
PRODUCTIVITY, IN REVERSE
Give them some homework.
They wanted your attention.
Give them an assignment.
02 / DELAY
Calendar chaos
Ask for an agenda for the agenda, then a breakdown of the time saved by skipping the call. All the admin. None of the meeting.
03 / REPEAT
The infinite loop
Ask for a summary. Then an explanation of the summary. Then a summary of the explanation. A very polite little circle, one draft each time you click.
CLICK. REVIEW. RETURN THE FAVOR.A few seconds of yours.
A few seconds of yours.
A little homework for them.
You have better things to do.
They apparently don't.

Review it. Send it yourself.
Edit the draft if you like, then decide whether to send. Time Waster preserves your signature and quoted history, and never clicks Send.
SMALL REPLIES. CLEAR BOUNDARIES.
What to expect.
Your email stays local.
Chrome’s Gemini Nano drafts on your device. No Time Waster account, API key, or cloud AI service. Chrome manages a separate model download. Your mail provider may save the inserted draft as usual.
A fallback when AI gets stuck.
If local AI is unavailable or stalls, a short built-in reply keeps you moving. You can review it before sending. Existing drafts you edited are protected; a new suggestion remains available in Options to copy.
Works in your mail editor.
Supports Gmail and Fastmail on desktop Chrome 148 or later. AI generation needs a device supported by Chrome’s built-in AI. Speed varies by device and message.
You stay in charge.
One toolbar click prepares one draft. Click again during generation to cancel. Time Waster doesn’t scan your inbox, read attachments, send automatic follow-ups, or book meetings.
Life is short.
Their to-do list shouldn't be.
