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.

The AI editor built for finishing books, screenplays and long-form stories
Write your draft and talk to the AI in the same workspace, so there is no copy-pasting between a chatbot and your document.
Store characters, settings and scenes in Notes so the AI can give suggestions that stay consistent with your story.
Define custom writing rules to train the assistant on the quirks and voice that make your writing yours.
Work without an internet connection and use version history, keyboard shortcuts and rich formatting including images, tables, code and math blocks.
