Cora

Product Introduction

1. Cora is an AI-powered email management system that screens users' inboxes to prioritize important messages, automatically drafts context-aware responses in the user’s voice, and summarizes non-urgent emails into digestible briefs delivered twice daily. It integrates directly with Gmail to reduce email overload while maintaining user control over communications.
2. The product’s core value lies in replacing manual email management with an AI system that replicates the efficiency of a $150,000/year executive assistant at 0.1% of the cost, enabling professionals to focus on high-impact tasks instead of inbox maintenance.

Main Features

1. Cora screens emails using pattern recognition trained on the user’s historical interactions, prioritizing messages requiring immediate action (e.g., from key contacts like bosses or clients) while archiving low-priority content such as newsletters or automated notifications.
2. The AI drafts personalized email responses by analyzing the user’s writing style and contextual data from past correspondence, generating ready-to-send replies that appear in the drafts folder for manual review and editing.
3. A twice-daily Brief compiles non-urgent emails into a structured summary with categorized sections (e.g., updates, FYIs, calendar invites), reducing inbox scanning time from hours to 30 seconds while preserving access to archived content via a dedicated “Next Brief” label.

Problems Solved

1. Cora eliminates email overload by automatically filtering 80-90% of non-critical messages, addressing the productivity drain caused by constant inbox monitoring and manual triaging.
2. It serves professionals, entrepreneurs, and executives who receive high volumes of email but lack dedicated administrative support to manage communications efficiently.
3. Typical scenarios include founders managing investor communications, sales leaders handling client inquiries, and operators coordinating cross-team workflows without losing time to repetitive email tasks.

Unique Advantages

1. Unlike basic email filters or rule-based tools, Cora uses adaptive machine learning to refine its prioritization logic based on user behavior, requiring no manual setup for sender lists or keyword rules.
2. The system uniquely combines response drafting with privacy safeguards: it cannot send/delete emails autonomously, uses enterprise-grade encryption for data shared with LLMs (Google/Anthropic/OpenAI), and excludes user data from model training.
3. Competitive differentiation includes Google Verified and CASA Tier 2 compliance for security-conscious users, plus seamless Gmail integration that requires no workflow changes compared to standalone email clients.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Does Cora send emails automatically? No, Cora only generates draft responses in the user’s Gmail drafts folder, which must be manually reviewed and sent by the user to prevent unauthorized communication.
2. How does Cora determine email importance? The AI analyzes response patterns, sender relationships, and content urgency from historical data, with ongoing adjustments via user feedback through chat or email instructions.
3. Can I retrieve emails archived in Briefs? Yes, all Briefed emails remain accessible under the “Next Brief” label in Gmail, and users can directly search or restore them if misclassified.
4. Is Cora limited to Gmail? Currently yes, but Outlook support is in development; users can join a waitlist for updates on multi-provider compatibility.
5. Is my email data secure? Cora uses zero-retention data sharing with LLMs, prohibits internal employee access to user emails, and complies with GDPR/ISO 27001 standards for enterprise-grade security.
