2019/ We’ve registered the company and won the EIT digital venture program, raising a small amount of money which gave us the confidence to initiate this project.
Back then we were interested in improving everyday communication by enhancing email with AI capabilities. We started with email because the average professional spends 28% of the work day reading and answering email. Email has evolved to a point where it is now used for multiple purposes. Document delivery and archiving; work task delegation; and task tracking, storing personal names and addresses, sending reminders, scheduling appointments, etc
We’ve released a series of browser extensions built on top of an email application, flexible enough to allow us to use NLP–email applications include Gmail, (Apple) Mail and Microsoft Outlook.
1. Email reading time for Gmail
Medium’s like reading time estimation for your Gmail.
It helps you estimate how long an email will take to read. The calculation is based on the average adult reading speed that around 200 words per minute (wpm). Estimated email reading time increases productivity, by prioritizing what to read

2. Gmail Summarization
Email summarization, read what’s important.
An AI–powered reading assistant, that works for email conversations on Gmail, and helps to automatically summarize email threads and extract insights—highlighting important sentences and, suggesting #labels for categorizing emails/ Add to Chrome, and check your Gmail, it’s free →
We help you write short emails—a few sentences at max, by limiting the number of characters to use when writing an email in Gmail. In today’s world, people read their emails on their mobile devices and or smart watches, while waiting at traffic lights or on public transport, and really don’t want to be scrolling down, page after page, while you ramble on.
So when you do craft an email, before hitting “send,” imagine your recipient reading your email on their smartphone while in the bathroom 🙂

4. Measuring Readability–the Linguistic Complexity of an Email
If you read a lot of emails, then you want to make sure you allocate your time wisely. We’ve developed a Gmail extension to help you with that.
Inspired by Rudolf Flesch–Flesch–Kincaid readability tests, which constructed a formula in the early 1940s that measures the average sentence length in words and the average word length in syllables. You put these two numbers into an equation and get a number between 0 and 100 that shows you the difficulty of a text.
Determining the linguistic complexity of an email, allows readers to prepare the time they need to read an email in full–it helps choose the right email for the right amount of available time they have–like filtering emails by readability score).
