Migrate your AutoText data
AI email autocomplete Chrome extension for Gmail that predicts full paragraphs using conversation context and thread history.
In its favor
Why people choose AutoText
The signal that keeps AutoText on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Paragraph-level autocomplete replaces single-word prediction, keeping writers in flow rather than interrupting to accept suggestions.
Thread-context ingestion means suggestions surface relevant dates, links, and prior answers without manual copy-paste from earlier emails.
Gmail-native formatting preservation means bold, italic, links, and lists are kept intact rather than stripped on acceptance.
Free individual tier allows knowledge workers to validate the tool's fit before any team-wide rollout or organizational purchase.
Chrome extension model means no IT deployment overhead—individual users install and configure AutoText independently.
No visible pricing page or published plans creates friction for team admins trying to budget or procure licenses.
AutoText lacks a documented export mechanism for user settings, learned writing patterns, or accepted-suggestion history.
Small team (founder-led) raises concerns about long-term product support and roadmap stability compared to established vendors.
Thread-context ingestion may raise data-privacy concerns for organizations in regulated industries handling sensitive communications.
Limited to Gmail means teams using Outlook, other email clients, or internal communication tools cannot adopt AutoText organization-wide.

Pricing tiers
AutoText pricing overview
AutoText runs a simple freemium model with two tiers. Basic is free indefinitely and capped at 1,000 suggestions per day — sufficient for casual users evaluating the tool. Pro is $9/month (or annual billing with two months complimentary) and removes the daily cap, adds priority support, and unlocks early access to new features. There is no published team or enterprise SKU on the pricing page; AutoText is sold to individual users via the Chrome Web Store.

What gets migrated
AutoText object support
Object-by-object support for AutoText migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
User Preferences
Mapping requiredAutoText stores tone, formatting, and interaction preferences per user. We map these to destination tool equivalents or flag them as non-transferable if the destination lacks a comparable preference layer.
Suggestion History
Not in this platformAutoText does not expose a public API for suggestion acceptance history. This data is not migratable and we do not attempt to reconstruct it.
Thread Context Cache
Not in this platformAutoText caches Gmail thread context locally for its own inference. This ephemeral session data has no export path and is not migrated.
Chrome Extension Settings
Mapping requiredWe extract and document Chrome extension permissions, enabled/disabled features, and keyboard shortcut mappings from the installed manifest. These are mapped manually to the destination tool's equivalent settings.
Organization Settings
Mapping requiredFor AutoText Business tiers (if applicable), admin-level team settings and shared snippet libraries are mapped to destination equivalents where supported.
Brand Voice Profiles
Mapping requiredIf users have configured brand-specific writing profiles, we preserve field values and map them to any destination tool that supports tone/voice configuration.
Integration Connections
Mapping requiredAutoText's Google account OAuth scope and Chrome Web Store installation record are documented but not migrated—we note which integrations must be re-authorized at the destination.
