Shortwave

An AI email assistant that tames your Gmail inbox.

Free plan available; paid tiers are listed on the website.

Shortwave is an AI-powered email app built specifically for Gmail, designed to help you get through your inbox faster. It layers an AI assistant over your existing mail so reading, writing and organizing all take less effort.

What it does

Shortwave can summarize long email threads so you grasp the gist at a glance, draft replies for you to refine, and let you search your inbox using natural language instead of exact keywords. It also helps keep things organized with smart labeling and grouping, turning a busy Gmail account into something more manageable day to day.

Who it’s for

Shortwave is aimed at Gmail users and teams who want an AI assistant to lighten the load of email. Because it is built around Gmail, it is the strongest fit for people already in that ecosystem rather than those on other providers. The free plan lets you try the core experience, while paid tiers for advanced AI features and teams are listed on the website.
