Your inbox is someone else's problem now.

Starting today, Cora—the AI chief of staff for your inbox—is coming out of private beta and is available for anyone to use. Cora manages email for over 2,500 beta users—now it's your turn.

Here’s what Cora can do for you:

Cora screens your emails

Cora knows what’s important to you and the types of emails you need to respond to. It keeps those messages in your inbox for you to handle ASAP.

Cora pre-drafts responses in your voice

Whenever Cora has enough context to draft a great response for you, it does.

Cora briefs the rest

Twice a day, Cora sends you a beautiful Brief that summarizes everything you need to read but don’t need to respond to. It lets you read your inbox in 30 seconds instead of three hours.

Cora gets to know you, automatically

Cora reads your email patterns to discover who you are—your work, your style, and your priorities.

You can shape Cora through conversation

Talk to Cora like your chief of staff over chat or email. Explain how you want emails filed and situations handled. You can even ask it to summarize or give an opinion on long threads or complex decisions. It remembers everything that matters.

Security and privacy are built in

Cora securely connects to your Gmail and works right alongside it—no app switching needed. We have no backdoor access or ability to view your emails. Period. Cora is also Google Verified and CASA Tier 2 compliant.

Cora comes with an Every subscription

You can try Cora as a standalone product for $15 per month, or you can get it as part of your Every subscription for $20 per month. When you buy it through Every you also get access to:

1. All of our writing and podcasts on the frontier of AI
2. Spiral—automate your content with AI
3. Sparkle—organize your files with AI

And anything else we build over time.

Don’t take our word for it

We are very excited about Cora, but you shouldn’t just take our word for it. Here’s what a few beta users have to say about it:

Watch our launch podcast

I recorded a special episode of AI & I with Cora general manager Kieran Klaassen, engineer Nityesh Agarwal, and Every Studio head Brandon Gell. We go through how we built Cora and what we’ve learned over the last year, including:

1. How we built a 2,500-strong active user product in private beta
2. How we almost burned six figures on AI inference costs and brought the cost down by 10x
3. Why we built a polarizing product: 80 percent of users say Cora "changed my life"—and 20 percent hate it
