I have a big issue here: this is essentially bootstrapping spreadsheets to do only a singular task for what seems to be free, until it's not.

The competitor to this service would be Monday, which offers a plethora of automation techniques and a straightforward(ish) API to create your own.

There is a huge security concern in giving Gmail write and also Google Drive permissions as well.

Lastly, I would consider this to be something that Gemini can/will accomplish in due time

So what makes this competitive?

What is the big issue? That we may be adding features in the future that creates more value that we may charge for?

There are literally hundreds of webapps helping w project management - Monday.com being one of them. Not everything you build have to compete. We have built a simple and delightful way for you to send personalised emails from your Spreadsheets.

You currently do not give Google Drive permissions. Which you would have known if you checked it out! Please give it a spin and let me know what you think.
