Notion released Notion Mail<\/a>, an AI-powered email client for Gmail that integrates with the rest of Notion\u2019s workflow management platform, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Notion Mail connects to Notion users\u2019 Gmail accounts and uses AI to help users organize their emails, draft responses, schedule meetings, and search across messages. Any Notion user can sign up, and Notion Mail\u2019s AI capabilities are free with monthly usage limits or unlimited through a paid tier.<\/p>\n

Notion Mail enters an increasingly crowded category of companies looking to improve email inboxes with AI. Superhuman<\/a>, one of the larger players, has raised $108 million in venture funding for its client that isn\u2019t tied to legacy email providers like Gmail or Microsoft Outlook. Fyxer<\/a>, which connects to Gmail and Outlook, raised $10 million last month.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth noting that many of the features Notion Mail is offering are also available from providers like Gmail, which uses AI to sort emails, craft responses, and suggest meetings.<\/p>\n

Jason Ginsberg, Notion Mail lead, told TechCrunch that the idea behind Notion Mail wasn\u2019t to attach AI to an existing inbox, but rather give users the ability to use AI to build a custom inbox organized and configured how they want.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way we built Notion Mail is almost down to the building blocks, or the fundamentals of how email works,\u201d Ginsberg said. \u201cIt\u2019s really modular. And what that means is, like, instead of just going to settings and there\u2019s just what we\u2019ve decided, you actually can configure Notion Mail in ways we can\u2019t even imagine \u2014 all different permutations, so that it actually works the way you prefer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Notion Mail\u2019s infrastructure came from Skiff, an end-to-end encrypted collaboration platform Notion acquired in 2024<\/a> for an undisclosed sum. Ginsberg co-founded Skiff, which also included an email product.<\/p>\n

According to Ginsberg, one of Notion Mail\u2019s more notable features is the ability for users to separate their inbox into \u201cviews\u201d or folders. The feature uses Notion AI to auto-label emails on a particular topic and move them into a separate topic-specific inbox.<\/p>\n

Ginsberg imagines users will use the capability to organize emails for a specific purpose, like keeping track of job applications. He said he uses the feature himself to quickly check customer feedback from Notion Mail\u2019s beta customers.<\/p>\n

Notion Mail connects with other Notion products like the platform\u2019s calendar app, Notion Calendar, and its internal knowledge base. This unlocks time-saving shortcuts. If someone in an email exchange suggests scheduling a meeting, Notion\u2019s AI will check a user\u2019s calendar, suggest times they\u2019re free, and prompt them to schedule it.<\/p>\n

Ginsberg said that a lot of the innovation around incorporating AI into email has thus far focused mainly on writing emails. He thinks Notion Mail offers something different because of its emphasis on building a customized inbox. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think our focus has really been on, how can AI help organize your email for you?\u201d Ginsberg said. \u201cThe big change there is it\u2019s no longer feeling like a burden where you are going through the same never-ending list, one-size-fits-all inbox and manually triaging emails. Our focus is not to have you work faster in the old way of things. It\u2019s really a new way and a new approach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ginsberg said that in the future, Notion hopes to be able to offer more product integrations and additional ways to access Notion Mail, like an iOS app. The Notion team also wants to be able to offer multiple inboxes in one view down the line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Notion released Notion Mail, an AI-powered email client for Gmail that integrates with the rest of Notion\u2019s workflow…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22489,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3163],"tags":[323,1942,14339,867,14340,14341,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-22488","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-gmail","11":"tag-google","12":"tag-notion","13":"tag-skiff","14":"tag-technology","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114343033181689653","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22488"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22488\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
