Not just compose-assist please.

The AI email market is expected to be worth $4.5 billion by 2027, but almost nobody is solving the problem that actually matters.

Employing AI to process emails, not just write them.

Here’s what I mean:
Most “AI for email” tools today solve the output problem. Draft smarter replies. Polish your tone. Compose messages for you.
The crucial one arises from the hundred micro-decisions you make before you even open an email: Is this urgent? Can it wait? Do I need to act or just be aware? Should I handle this or delegate it?

Your inbox doesn't help with any of that. It just dumps everything in front of you and walks away.
We aren't overwhelmed because of the message volume but because we had no system for understanding what mattered as every email demands the same mental load.

That's what we're fixing with Faraday.

AI shouldn't just help you respond faster. It’s to help you see what matters, focus on what needs your attention, and let the rest stay in the background.

Most tools use AI as a spell-check. We're building it as a thinking partner. Because that's the only way email stops being exhausting.
