Built by a founder who lives in his inbox.

Emailligent was born out of my frustration with search on Mac Mail, Microsoft Outlook, Gmail Search and Superhuman. I knew intuitively that my email inbox contained decades of relationships and won and lost opportunities. I wanted an easy way to export the thousands of contacts I had accumulated over the years into a simple spreadsheet so I could send a variety of group emails. I also wanted an easy way to ask questions of my inbox and to return reliable answers. I wanted an AI Chief of Staff who could answer everything with maximum intelligence, speed and accuracy.

The result is Emailligent, and I hope you like it!
