What is Shortwave?
Email with AI search, scheduling and organisation.
Who is Shortwave best for?
Shortwave is best for Google Workspace users who want an AI assistant to sort, search and draft their email.
Gmail and Google Workspace users
It connects straight to Gmail and Workspace accounts and adds split inboxes, bundles and todos on top of them.
Finding answers in old email
AI search takes a plain description instead of exact keywords and can answer questions from your team's email and attachments.
People who write a lot of email
The AI learns your style from sent mail to draft replies and finish sentences, and it can check your calendar to write scheduling emails.
Small teams sharing an inbox
Shared live threads, private comments, assignees and shared labels let a team handle email together without pasting it into chat.
