Like many AI-driven products, the marquee use case they show is useless. "Job offers that require my signature"?? I am going to have one of these in the air at one time and will not be too busy to keep track the relevant emails! Indicates to me that product is a solution in search of a problem.
Similarly, the first Humane AI Pin hype video showed a guy on a train asking his pin to tell him about prices of vintage photos of a solar eclipse.
- hightrix 1y agoCouldn't agree more. Regarding the job offer example. I'll have 1 to sign every 2-5 years, I should be able to manage that myself. That said, I'd love a better email client that wasn't feeding an advertising company. I'm planning to spend some time with this to see if it fits any of my needs. Edit: Oh, this is just a gmail wrapper/addon. Nevermind, moving along.
- footy 1y agomaybe this isn't what you're looking for since it is paid, but I am very happy with fastmail edit: just realized I skipped a word while reading and you said client. I know some people use it to manage all email (including from gmail accounts) but that's not actually my use case.
- Jeremy1026 1y agoI also like that the first screenshot on the page shows an email from "Finance Dept" with the subject "Expense report status" as a "Cold email". That example almost definitely has some back story to it, thus not making it a cold email.

- m4tthumphrey 1y ago100%, it is just a buzzword right now with so many companies trying to get in on the "action" without actually providing anything useful.
- tobr 1y agoWow, that is a bizarre example? So bizarre I feel like I must be misunderstanding it. When does someone have multiple job offers in their inbox awaiting a signature? And it’s something you’re searching for as if you have to go through your weekly slog of signing job offers? Someone tell me what I’m misunderstanding.
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoI believe it's from the vantage of a hypothetical hiring manager.
- tobr 1y agoThat actually makes a lot of sense. What little you see of the emails they look completely different though - if ”I” sent them, you’d think they would be more similar.
- schnable 1y agoand they get only 3 results?
- bathtub365 1y agoSeems a little tone deaf for the current economy at the very least.
