Shortwave

What it does

Shortwave is an AI email assistant for Gmail. It uses prompts to organize your inbox, write and enhance emails, search email history, summarize threads and schedule meetings. It connects to tools like Slack, Calendar, Notion, Asana and Hubspot, and offers shared threads, private comments and shared labels for team collaboration.

Shortwave adds an AI agent to Gmail. From a prompt, it can label, star and archive messages, draft replies in your writing style, search your email history and check your availability for meetings. The inbox itself offers split tabs, bundles for bulk triage and a way to turn emails into todos. For teams, shared threads update in real time, and you can comment privately, assign next steps and share labels and prompts. The pricing page lists three per-seat plans: Business at $30, Premier at $45 and Max at $120 per seat per month. Each tier raises the AI usage quota and the intelligence level, from Standard up to Expert. A 14 day free trial is offered, and the homepage says no credit card is required. Shortwave works with Gmail accounts, so check that your setup fits before committing. The AI usage quota varies with request complexity and the intelligence level you pick, so heavy users should compare tiers. The homepage also mentions a sister product, Tasklet, for 24/7 workflow automation across 3,000+ apps.
