Collaborative inbox and email management for teams
Let multiple people work the same inbox with clear assignment, internal statuses, and visibility into who is answering what.
Discuss and prepare replies inside the email thread itself, so context stays attached and nobody is left out of the loop.
Turn any email into an assigned task and see what each teammate is working on today, tomorrow, and next week.
Automate repetitive routing, tagging, and follow-up with rules, rule templates, and workflow automations.

Automate your email with AI
A conversational agent that organizes your inbox, identifies what matters, drafts replies, writes scheduling emails and runs multi-step workflows from a single prompt.
Plain-language AI filters and scripts that automatically label, archive, star or sweep messages so you reach inbox zero faster.
Ask questions in natural language and search across your own messages — or your whole team's emails and attachments — to get answers rather than links.
Shared threads, private comments, assigned next steps and shared labels give a team one live view of important conversations.
