AI Email Assistants
AI powered email clients and filters that triage your inbox, summarise threads and draft replies in your voice.
How to choose an AI email assistant
AI email tools promise a shorter inbox, but they do it in different ways. Some sort your mail so only important messages reach you. Some draft replies in your voice. Others summarize long threads and newsletters. Knowing which of those eats your time tells you which tool to try first.
Start with what you already have. If you use Gmail on a Google Workspace or Google AI plan, Gemini in Gmail can summarize threads and suggest replies at no extra cost. Our guide to the Gmail AI inbox explains what it does, and if you would rather switch it off, see how to turn off Gemini in Gmail.
Email apps with AI built in. Superhuman is a fast paid email client with AI drafting and an assistant, and our guide on how to use Superhuman Go covers its agent features. Shortwave is built around Gmail with AI search and summaries, and Spark is a free email app with paid AI features.
Assistants that work on top of your inbox. Fyxer drafts replies and files messages inside Gmail or Outlook without changing apps. SaneBox moves unimportant mail into separate folders, which helps when newsletters and notifications bury the messages that matter.
Three questions settle most choices. Do you want to keep your current email app, or are you happy to switch? How much access are you comfortable giving? These tools read your mail to work, so check each privacy page, and ask your employer before connecting a work account. And is your problem volume or replies? Heavy volume favors sorting tools, while slow replies favor drafting tools.
Our best AI email assistant guide compares the main options on price and features. If meetings fill your calendar as fast as email fills your inbox, the scheduling and tasks category is the next stop.
