Six AI Features That Transform Your Inbox
Each feature works independently or together. Turn on what you need. Turn off what you don't. Your inbox, your rules.
Smart Categorisation
AI sorts every email into actionable categories — Urgent, Requires Reply, FYI, Meeting Request, Invoice, and more. No more manual folder rules.
One-Click Replies
Context-aware reply suggestions that match your tone and style. From a quick acknowledgement to a detailed response — one click, done.
Action Item Extraction
The AI scans every email thread and pulls out tasks, deadlines, and commitments. Never miss a follow-up buried in paragraph three again.
Meeting Detection & Sync
Detects meeting proposals, time suggestions, and scheduling conflicts. Automatically creates calendar events and sends Teams invites.
Priority Scoring
Every email gets a priority score based on sender importance, content urgency, and your historical response patterns. VIP senders always float to the top.
Thread Summarisation
Long email chains distilled into a 3-sentence summary. Catch up on a 47-message thread in 10 seconds flat. Essential for returning from leave.
Deep Microsoft 365 Integration
