Do you use an AI Email assistant? Which do you recommend?
We've seen so many AI email assistants pop up recently. The one I'm most intrigued by is Cora. I just got off the Cora waitlist and am taking it for a spin this weekend.
I still get shiny penny syndrome when I see new productivity tools but I am starting to double down on the simple approach of doing less is more impactful. Cora sends you email summaries only 2x a day, and crafts different responses you can choose from and only surfaces the most important items so you aren't reacting to every item as it arrives and aren't living chained to your inbox. I'm excited to see if it actually improves my productivity AND impact.
Have any of you tried an AI email assistant? If so, did you stick with one? What did you find was the most helpful feature?

I've tried a few of them because I hate email. The main thing I wanted for it to draft emails in my tone based on previous emails. Default AI is so obvious and stale so using the base LLM model to write emails was a non-starter for me. Even though most of them claim to do this, I found that none really do circa a few months ago. I think @Superhuman 's "inbox beta" will do this when it's out of beta though.
My short take is that @Lindy is pretty cool and was my favorite. You can give it an external knowledge base and it will draft responses from it while also being able to use a custom prompt. Also does a bunch of other things like chatbot and other marketing automations. The other ones I tried put a big focus on email summarization and organization, which has never been a big thing for me (@Shortwave went into this category for me).
I know people say @Fyxer and Serif are good but haven't tried them- anyone tried those?
I've just been trying out our new AI email assistant that connects to our AI Agents. Basically, it generates email drafts as you train your AI agent and as you build their persona. One example:
It's still under development, and we're waiting for the approval from Google. When it's ready to use, it would be nice if you try to give us feedback :)
