Cora frees you from email by screening your inbox: showing only what's important, drafting responses in your voice, and briefing the rest 2x daily. It's a $150k chief of staff for just $15/month—because you were made to live your life, not chase inbox zero.
We built Cora because we like building but hate emailing, and our inbox was an endless to-do list written by everyone else but ourselves.
We initially designed Cora to draft our emails. Then we discovered something obvious but hard to recognize: 80% of our emails don't need responses—or any of our attention at all. They're just distractions.
The problem isn't writing emails faster. It's that we're drowning in emails that don't matter.
Meanwhile, CEOs with $150K executive assistants don't have this problem. Their assistants screen everything, handle the routine stuff, draft responses, and only surface what truly needs attention.
So we rebuilt Cora from the ground up—not just as an email writer, but as a chief of staff for your inbox:
🎯 It screens your emails Cora learns what actually matters to you and keeps those in your inbox. Everything else? It puts into your Brief.
✍️ It drafts responses in your voice For emails that need replies, Cora writes them like you would, in your voice, personality, and tone, depending on the recipient.
📋 It briefs you on the rest Twice daily, get a beautiful summary of everything you should know about but don't need to act on. 30 seconds instead of 2 hours of maintaining your inbox.
After a year of building and 6 months in beta with thousands of daily active users, Cora is ready.

Congrats on the launch. I actually just signed up for Cora yesterday and enjoying it so far! Hoping this could be part of my email solution.
A couple of quick questions:
Any plans for an ios/mobile app? The mobile web interface is usable, but it would be nice to have a native app (with a more responsive UI, etc) for navigating and interacting with Cora's briefs.
What are most people using as their "other" app with Cora? Just vanilla Gmail?
Been a Superhuman superuser for years, but Cora seems to be Superhuman on steroids!!
I haven't really opened my email app in 2025. Thanks to Cora, I'm actually more responsive now, because I'm not drowning in chaos. It filters the noise and surfaces what truly matters in logical order. I get sanity instead of overwhelm.
My inbox runs itself while I focus on what counts.
I've been watching Kieran build this for a very long time. I'm excited for everyone to finally get their hands on it!
Great product! But what about security since you get complete access to all my emails?
Really excited to give Cora a shot. I built something for myself thats similar but I no longer want to maintain, Cora seems to replace alot of that functionality. I'd love to see how it performs sifting through alot of my technical emails. I get alot of log alerts and activity alerts on github which muddy up my inbox. Those emails are important at times but usually can wait unless theres literally a service outage. Since priorities shift in a day, I've been looking for something thats smart enough to understand my patterns.
Seems interesting, good luck with that! Finally something to declutter my messy inbox.
Congrats on your launch.🎉
I really love Cora and use everyday alternative of my default Inbox!
Before using it, I spent a lot of time in my inbox. It was my first coffee after waking up, but it often gave me a headache.
But checking Cora's emails just twice a day not only made my coffee more comfortable, it also helped me to avoid unnecessary distractions.
I'm grateful that they've been providing it for free while checking user trends. It's become a must-have for me, so I'm going to subscribe.🤣
Cora is an incredibly ambitious project — aiming to tame the morass that is the modern inbox and turn into something you can get through in a matter of focused minutes, not distractingly grazed throughout the day.
If you run your business from your inbox and are overrun — give Cora a try. 💌
