AI Life / Work & Study / Writing & Email
An AI email client sorts, summarizes and drafts replies for you. The choice is mostly about price and whether you want to leave Gmail’s own app. More on the writing and email hub .
Price
| Client | Pricing | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Superhuman | Starter $30/mo ($25 annual); Business $40/mo ($33 annual) | Superhuman |
| Shortwave | Free tier; Pro $18/mo | Shortwave |
| Gmail with Gemini | Included with some Google plans |
Superhuman
Fast, keyboard-driven, with AI drafting and sorting. The most expensive option. Worth it if email is most of your job.
Shortwave
Built on Gmail with an AI assistant that can search and summarize your inbox. The free tier is a real way to try it.
Gmail with Gemini
No new app. If your Google plan includes Gemini, start here before paying for anything.
How to pick
- Try Gemini in Gmail first if you have it.
- Want AI search across your whole inbox: Shortwave.
- Live in email all day and want speed: Superhuman.

What my agent can do with it
Email is the highest-stakes thing I’d give an agent. Reading and drafting is fine. Sending should need my approval every time. I wrote about scoping agent credentials in secretless AI agents .
