Congratulations on the release of Shortwave AI Assistant. 🚀Your product, like an agent, lives in your inbox and, like the smartest assistant, helps you write replies, schedule meetings, and save energy and time. Good job!
I've been using the AI Assistant in beta. There have been some truly magical moments, like translating a thread instantly from french-to-english.
Summarization, writing-drafts, and finding info in my email are the other killer use-cases. I've saved a lot of time on this.
Rock on, Shortwave.
@jamestamplin We agree it feels downright magical at times ✨ Thanks for the support James!!
I love this! People have been talking about AI agents.. is that how you see this moving as you expand the tech?
Super exciting! Congrats Andrew and team! I loved how slick your initial summary feature was - minimal, quick to use. Excited to check this out!
VERY excited about scheduling meetings. Tough problem. Curious how far you went!
@rajiv_ayyangar Excited for you to give it a try as well! Hopefully our AI Assistant makes scheduling meetings a breeze 💨
Been using this since alpha. It's not a simple gimmick stuck on top of GPT like most AI these days. It actually helps through assessment of existing material and simulation of writing style. As an ADHDer the biggest benefit it brings is that "i don't want to answer this simple email because it's too hard" scenario where I'd leave it for months unanswered. Now I just prompt the AI and it gets me unstuck.
And for those new to Shortwave, here's what you should know:
1. it's google inbox reincarnated. finally.
2. they have an actual business model: you pay for it.
@justin_maxwell Thank you so much for your comment Justin (and for being an early adopter of the AI Assistant)! Our team is thrilled to hear Shortwave can you help you get unstuck so that you can focus on bigger picture stuff. You're the best!
This sounds like a great tool! How does the AI Assistant prioritize which emails to summarize and translate?
I've been using the Shortwave AI Assistant for a few months. It is shocking how quickly it has gotten better. I use it daily to surface important and urgent emails, help me write drafts, and translate messages into other languages. This is the future, today!
@phil_mohun Woohoo!! Love to hear the AI Assistant has been integrated into your daily workflow 🔥 Thanks as always for the kind words and support Phil
Loved the premise but disappointing experience: asked the AI if it could archive all the emails from a given sender. Bot said yes if I upgraded to premium. I asked it to confirm that functionality - which it did. I upgrade and first thing I ask it to do is to then archive those emails. It tells me then it can't and doesn't have that capability...
@carter_foxgrover1 Hi Carter — I'm sorry to hear this was your experience! The AI Assistant is not currently able to take actions like pinning emails or marking them as done (although it'd be super cool to give it this ability in the future). I'm sorry to hear it misrepresented its abilities prior to your purchase, though. Unfortunately, AI does still hallucinate from time to time. I see you wrote into our support mailing list. A member of our team will respond to your email there shortly, and we'd be more than happy to refund your purchase. Thanks for giving our assistant a try!
crazy how this app isnt upvoted to heaven right now. best email platform ive ever used. and ive tried literally every single one—except Superhuman cuz who tf would pay that much for email?
Shortwave is disgustingly fast and has every keyboard shortcut you could ask for.
But what i care about is how easily i can process emails. I was never inbox zero on the daily—until shortwave.
I keep being flabbergasted why everyone passes this one by.
I've been using shortwave for the last couple months and i really love it. Congrats on this new launch. I moved on from Superhuman and switch to shortwave, great product!
Great tool! I am a indie hacker and I need to deal with over 30 emails everyday! It definitely seems a great tool to help me with that!
@jakeharr 30 emails a day doesn't have anything on Shortwave — we'll have you back at inbox zero in no time 😉
@jakeharr 30? Did you forget a 0 perhaps? Would love to have such an easy life!
Although I admit a lot of mine are newsletters or updates from Github and the like, all of which group away nicely in bundles.
congratulations on launching Shortwave Andrew!
The advanced search feature would help a lot of people since Gmail's Advanced search feature is not so powerful and often gives irrelevant results! You can target this segment of the market - C suite executives who have a cluttered email inbox! also managers who are managing a tech team or a marketing team!
I particularly like the little AI affordances within the existing UI elements, such as little buttons on each thread to get it summarised, or "include a smart summary" when responding on a thread (that has also already existed for a while now).
It's those little things - much more than the usual chatbot everybody now adds - that make Shortwave's AI adoption different for me.
That and the already great UX for handling the stream of emails, that is just amazing.
@patrick_metzdorf Thanks for saying so Patrick! We did our best to integrate AI as much as possible into the app, rather than having it be a standalone flow. Glad to hear it's feeling good to you 🔥
Shortwave continues to go from strength to strength. It blows all the other email platforms/solutions out of the water plus they continue to innovate rapidly rolling taking advantage of the best AI has to offer and makes communication easy and fun again—HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I used Superhuman for years. I switched to Shortwave about six months ago. Superhuman has bells and whistles. Shortwave organizes emails in a way that allows me to process them quickly and intelligently in a way I never could before.
Once I got my bundles dialed in. I can open Shortwave and, at a glance, see the entire big picture of what's come in and instantly know where to put my attention next.
I also have whole categories of emails that Shortwave knows not to even bother showing me on Monday, just keep them snoozed until Tuesday after 1pm.
Their AI alone has saved me lots of time. I'm not one to have an AI compose anything for me, but having it summarize long incoming emails is a godsend.
I HIGHLY recommend this app.
@ken_blackman This made my day 😌 I'm so glad to hear Shortwave is working well for you—and that you've got bundling, delivery schedules, and AI working to make your life easier. Thanks a ton for being a supporter of Shortwave!
