Superhuman
Keyboard-driven email client for Gmail and Outlook with AI drafting, triage, summaries, and reply suggestions.
ProductivityPaid
AI-first Gmail client with an assistant that searches, summarizes, drafts, and schedules from the inbox.
Overview
Shortwave is an email client for Gmail and Google Workspace accounts built around an AI assistant. Users can ask the assistant to find old threads, summarize long conversations, draft replies in their own style, schedule meetings, and run multi-step tasks such as pulling details from several emails into a single answer. Smart bundling groups newsletters, receipts, and notifications so the inbox stays focused on real conversations. It appeals to founders, consultants, and small sales teams that want AI deeply embedded in email rather than bolted on. The product integrates with Google Calendar, HubSpot, Notion, Slack, and Linear, and offers an API and MCP access for connecting other tools. It works on web, desktop, and mobile. The main caveat is that it only supports Gmail accounts, so businesses on Microsoft 365 cannot use it, and per-seat pricing is on the high side for a mail client.
