Our take
Carly is an email agent that acts: CC it on a thread and it checks your calendar, proposes times and books meetings for you. Testers reported ~4.5 hours saved a week. At $19-35/month it is fairly priced - just supervise early, since autonomous send is only as safe as its read on your intent.
Best for
Founders, solo operators and salespeople who lose hours each week to scheduling and routine email back-and-forth.
Pros
- Acts autonomously - books meetings, not just drafts
- Reviewer testing showed ~4.5 hours saved per week
- Connects Calendar, Outlook, Zoom, Teams and Meet
- Reasonable price at $19-35/month
Cons
- Autonomous send needs early supervision
- Newer tool in a crowded email-assistant space
- Outcome data is reviewer-tested, not independently benchmarked
How it compares
Versus Fyxer or Shortwave, which speed up drafting, Carly aims to close the loop - taking the action - which is more useful and higher-stakes if its read on intent is right.
Full review
Carly is built as an agent, not an assistant: you can CC it on a thread, forward a messy conversation or send a screenshot, and it works the scheduling and follow-ups autonomously, checking your calendar and booking meetings with video links. In testing, a single instruction to clear scheduling requests booked six meetings without the user touching the inbox.
As an ops agent it clears the Outcome bar - reviewers reported around 4.5 hours saved a week across scheduling, follow-ups and light research - but that evidence is hands-on testing rather than an independent benchmark, so we score it conservatively. The advice for new users is the same as for any autonomous email tool: supervise the first weeks, since the value and the risk both come from it acting on your behalf.

NotebookLM
Google's source-grounded research assistant: upload docs, PDFs and links, then ask questions, generate study guides, and turn sources into audio and video overviews. The free tier is genuinely usable; Plus raises the limits.
OpenRouter
OpenRouter is a unified API and marketplace for large language models. With one account and key you can reach 300+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, Cohere and many smaller providers, using an OpenAI-compatible interface. It charges passthrough rates (provider cost plus a small markup) and publishes live pricing and usage-based model rankings, so you can compare options and route to the cheapest, fastest or most reliable one. It supports automatic fallback across providers and a free-model tier for experimentation; the main costs to watch are a 5.5% credit-card fee, which hits small top-ups hardest, and a 5% bring-your-own-key fee on requests above one million per month.
