AI-powered email client with natural language inbox search
WritingFreemiumLLM-drafted
Part of this entry was LLM-drafted and is being polished.
Shortwave is an AI-first email client built on Gmail — natural-language inbox search ('show me emails about the Q4 launch from Sarah'), AI thread summary, AI draft assistant. Founded by ex-Inbox by Gmail team. Free tier covers basics.
Editor's verdict
Best Gmail-on-top AI inbox today — natural language search alone is worth the $9. Doesn't replace Gmail (it sits on top), so all your filters / labels keep working. Catch: lock-in is real once you customize, and migrating away means losing AI metadata. Strong choice for inbox-heavy work.
