(cofounder here) Honestly, we were hoping Gemini would nail this so we wouldn't have to build it ourselves, but here we are. The main difference is we're not bounded by Google's ecosystem - we're starting with Gmail but already working on Outlook and other integrations. Also, the goal is to build an executive assistant, not just a voice client for email and calendar.

Google native AI integration to Gmail and calendar frequently disappoints be it on desktop or phone (Pixel), it's like Apple and Siri. Should be better given resources but way of base when compared to our expectations.

Shortwave has had all this and more for over a year and still nothing in Gmail.
