Shortwave Overview

What is Shortwave?

Shortwave is the smartest email app on planet Earth. Email is the backbone of modern business communications. Every day, billions of emails are exchanged inside and between businesses discussing everything from investment decisions, to high-stakes negotiations, to product designs, to major purchases. Email is the one tool that connects everyone — employees, customers, vendors, even the CEO. The biggest decisions are made in the email inboxes of business leaders. And yet, the inbox you rely on every day has not fundamentally improved in over a decade. It lacks the basic tools you need to get organized, and it's full of marketing spam and other junk. Sure, it shows you your emails, but it doesn't help you make sense of them, and it certainly doesn't help you get things done. Artificial intelligence has completely changed what is possible with modern productivity software. What if your inbox didn't just show you your emails, but actually understood them. What if it could give you answers, rather than just running searches? What if it unlocked insights from your inbox that helped you make better decisions? What if it could make intelligent recommendations right when you needed them? At Shortwave, we're leading the way in combining cutting-edge AI technology with world-class design & productivity practices to bring you the world's most advanced email client. We aim to not just save you time, but to actually make you smarter too. Our team previously built products used by millions at Firebase and Google, and we're backed by world-class investors including Union Square Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners.

What do you like best about Shortwave?

Shortwave is all about leaving your inbox empty. if you get into that mode of work you get addicted.

Shortwave search capabilities are awesome as you can elaborate and ask the AI more precisely what email you are looking for specifically, and it's fast.

I also like the AI tweaking my emails and making them better. I never send an email anymore without AI upgrading my emails, making them more professional, elaborative, and clear.

They have a new feature which is called Team Comments, where I can add comments to the team on specific emails enhancing my collaboration.

I use it every day all day. left my other email program as Shortwave became my focal communication center and they made it so easy.

Their support is quick and to the point so whenever I tackle anything they are there to help and provide some guidance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shortwave?

It takes a bit of time to get used to this mode of work - empty inbox by marking each item as done.

but once you get used to it you get addicted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shortwave solving and how is that benefiting you?

Shortwave solves the problem of overflowing email stream management, finding lost forgotten emails, and gives you the feeling you can win the overflow of emails with some simple tools Shortwave provides.

First, by allowing me to have an empty inbox making each as done or as todo or as a starred item.

Second, Shortwave made my searches for a specific email a win every time. No more lost emails you cannot find or do not know when or how to find it, making the time to look for an email lot shorter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
