Before / After Comparison

1
Before

Before using the `gws-gmail-reply` tool, replying to Gmail emails required manually opening the Gmail interface, finding the relevant email thread, clicking the reply button, and then composing and sending the email. This process is inefficient for scenarios requiring frequent replies or automated processing.

After

After using `gws-gmail-reply`, emails can be replied to quickly via command line or script. The tool automatically handles email threads, greatly simplifying the operation process and improving work efficiency, especially suitable for automated workflows.
