A privacy-first email client with built-in AI writing help
Pull Gmail, Outlook, Exchange, IMAP and POP accounts into one organized view so every message is in a single place.
Summarize long threads, draft replies in your voice, rewrite for tone or length and translate messages without leaving the inbox.
PGP and S/MIME support with keys you generate or bring yourself, plus tracker blocking and a zero-knowledge privacy stance.
Automatic grouping keeps noise down, while the Later board lets you park messages and pick them up when they are relevant.
The managed vector database and knowledge engine for production AI
Store and query vector embeddings with automatic indexing that requires no manual tuning or algorithm selection.
Writes are acknowledged in under 100ms and become searchable within seconds, while all data is searched in parallel so speed holds at scale.
Connect agents to Pinecone through plugins for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, MCP, or a direct REST API with one key.
Serve compiled, governed enterprise knowledge to agents through a single query, cutting token usage and latency versus multi-step RAG loops.
