Email search that actually understands the question.
Shortwave rebuilds Gmail around an AI assistant that searches across years of mail by meaning\, drafts replies\, and runs AI-powered filters that sort by intent rather than sender rules.
Finding the thread where something was agreed months ago — without remembering who said it or when — is where it earns the subscription. Tiers differ mainly by model strength and how many threads a search can span\, which is a more honest axis than arbitrary feature gating.
