Shortwave

Shortwave is an AI-powered email client for Gmail users and teams that automates inbox management with natural language prompts.

Key features include:

• Agentic email actions to organize, write, search, and schedule, including creating calendar events and drafting scheduling emails.
• AI-enhanced search and analysis across email history and attachments, using natural language or Gmail-style operators to find answers quickly.
• Automatic inbox organization with AI filters that label, star, archive, or route messages based on plain-English rules, plus bundles, splits, and snooze to speed up triage.
• Writing assistance with instant summaries, personalized drafting, and predictive autocomplete that suggests links, facts, and phrases from prior emails.

Pricing: Freemium, with a free plan plus paid tiers. Personal/Pro plans are listed around $14 to $18 per month (annual billing discounts). Business tiers start around $24 per seat per month, with higher tiers up to $100 per seat per month (billed annually).

What makes it notable is its combination of agentic AI automation and an Inbox-style productivity workflow (bundles, splits, keyboard-first controls), plus team features like shared threads, comments, assignments, and shared labels for collaborative email handling.
