Why are you focusing on being AI driven now? Shortwave has been great already. This seems more like an attempt to capture some crowd via current AI hype. I don't know but it may also work in reverse giving a sense of less privacy or something.

I go into this a bit more in our blog post from today [1], but we believe LLMs are going to transform how we interact with email. Yes, you still need a solid inbox with labels and contacts and push notifications and everything else that email clients like Shortwave offer. And we will continue to iterate on and nail that experience. But these new tools allow us to push the boundaries of what can be done with email, and we intend to do just that.
