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?

I find very usefull how it helps organize emails and that it's a bundle of smart ideas, one over the others: it feels like you're chatting more than email-ing. It's intuitive and helpful and I love the 'mark as done' functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shortwave?

The notifications are not getting as frequently as I'd like them to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

First of all it helps you organize your workplace. I've started using it for work but now it's just standard. Interactions with colleagues are easier thanks to the channels, the emoji reactions and the mentions methods but what make everything easier is the Pin, snooze or done method. Wonderfull!

What do you like best about Shortwave?

I was skeptical when I had to change my mailbox as I had not done this before. However, Shortwave is a lifesaver. The mailbox is very well organized and offers much more functionality besides just sending and receiving emails. The auto-send functionality helps me schedule emails during the week.

What do you dislike about Shortwave?

The interface gets slightly slower at times when there is a heavy load of emails inbound or outbound. Happens mostly on Mondays when there is a influx of emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
