Shortwave wraps Gmail with threads, AI search, and drafts. Cheaper than Superhuman, still an inbox, not a concierge.

- Cross-app household execution
- Pricing
- Free; paid AI
- Platforms
- Web · iOS · Android

- A working surface people already open
Where it lags
- Narrower than a general assistant
- Household follow-through is limited or absent
