Should I Send That Email
The Should I Send That Email API provides a comprehensive analysis of your drafted email's potential for catastrophe. Our algorithm evaluates passive-aggression levels, regret probability, and the specific type of recipient to produce a recommendation that is almost always 'no'. The cooling_off_period field tells you how long to wait before re-evaluating, which is our polite way of saying 'sleep on it'.
