Shortwave overview

Shortwave is an AI email app designed to help individuals and teams organize, write, search, schedule, and automate email workflows from a single inbox. The product centers on a prompt-driven assistant that can handle common inbox tasks and surface information from messages, attachments, and team email history.

The site positions Shortwave as a productivity-focused replacement for a more manual inbox workflow, with features for splitting inboxes into tabs, bundling lower-priority mail, creating todos from messages, and collaborating through shared threads and labels. It is available on iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows, and the pricing page shows Business, Premier, and Max plans with a 14-day free trial.

Features

AI inbox organization

Use the AI Assistant to organize your inbox, identify important messages and action items, and sweep away lower-priority mail.

AI writing and replies

Ask the assistant to draft replies, improve writing, and learn your style from the emails you send so messages sound like you.

AI search and analysis

Search by natural-language prompt or Gmail-style filters, then use the assistant to analyze email history and attachments for answers.

Automated email workflows

Set up custom AI filters and triggers to label, archive, delete, star, or draft replies based on plain-English instructions.
