Everyone and their mother advertising AI-powered features.
I wonder if it's because there's a ton of value to unlock today with AI or is it because that is the only way to get funding / attention these days?
Also yes, attention is nice for a small young startup fighting against a bunch of giant companies who've been doing email for decades. Marketing is indeed a thing :) But we stand by Smart Summaries as a feature that actually makes your email experience better and faster. And we plan to build more soon.
>Shortwave's most prominent action is done — akin to archiving on other email apps — because it's the recommended way to clean up your inbox. Items marked done are removed from your inbox, but remain easily accessible via search and the Done page.
Can you automatically recommend the e-mails that I need to mark as done or do I need to do that manually?
I personally find it very useful for answering NP-hard-like questions (Hard to find an answer to, easy to verify answer is correct), such as when I have something on the tip of my tongue or looking for a specific term/word.
It's also fairly good at summarizing, as well as generating text. You may not want to send the e-mail as is, but it can be a good starting point for drafting an email or message.
These seem like specific value add, especially in the context of an email frontend.
* Ton of value.
* GPT-3 makes it easy to gain that value.
It's a little bit like the Internet gold rush of the .com boom. I have no idea who'll be left standing, but there's something transformational here.
It sounds like the perfect storm to me.
