    Rapid inbox management is a real gap, especially for founders who live in email. We went the opposite direction with empla.io, AI agents that act inside Gmail so you do not need a new client. There is clearly room for both. What convinced you to build a native client rather than an extension or an MCP server on top of Gmail? Distribution is usually the piece that kills standalone email apps.

      Our opinion is that you need to rethink the UI from the ground up, which isn't a tractable proposition through an extension or an MCP server :)

      Can't say more good things about Avec! Its amazing to use, the voice to text feature is leagues above all other apps. Team crushed it!

        cool product. so smooth.

        but better do TikTok-like scroll, instead of Tinder-swipe imo.
