Shortwave

Email client for Gmail with an AI assistant that searches and answers across all your mail

Shortwave replaces the Gmail interface: it bundles emails, summarizes threads and has an assistant you can ask about your entire mailbox or have draft a reply with facts from past emails. It helps people on Google Workspace who search their mail for agreements and numbers from past months.
