Cora
Cora is an AI email assistant from Every, framed as a chief of staff for your inbox rather than a faster email client. It works in three moves: it screens incoming mail and decides what actually needs to reach you, holding back the rest; it pre-drafts replies by learning from your writing style and past responses, so the messages that do need an answer arrive with a draft ready; and twice a day it sends a brief summary of everything you should read but don't need to reply to. The idea is to turn a cluttered inbox into a short, scannable narrative you skim a couple of times a day instead of monitoring constantly. Cora spent about six months in private beta managing email for roughly 2,500 users before opening to the public, and has drawn attention from New York Times columnist Kevin Roose. It is a young product in a crowded category, and its rhythm suits people willing to step back from real-time email.

Our take
Cora, from media-and-software company Every, is an AI chief of staff for email. It screens your inbox so only things that need you get through, pre-drafts replies in your voice, and sends a twice-daily brief of everything else. It recently opened up beyond a 2,500-user beta and has a notable fan in NYT's Kevin Roose, though it's young and email-AI is crowded.
Best for
Knowledge workers drowning in email who want screening, ready-to-send drafts, and a digest instead of a constant inbox.
Pros
- Screens email so only what needs you reaches the inbox
- Drafts replies that match your writing style
- Twice-daily briefings replace constant checking
- Recently opened to everyone after a closed beta
Cons
- Young product, only just out of beta
- Email-assistant space is crowded
- Twice-a-day rhythm won't fit every workflow
How it compares
Where Shortwave and Superhuman speed up an inbox you still live in, Cora's bet is to get you out of the inbox: screen, draft, and summarize so you check twice a day.

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.
Gamma
AI design tool that generates polished presentations, websites, documents, and social graphics from a prompt or outline.
Krisp
On-device AI that cancels background noise on any call and records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings with accent conversion.
