Cora

Cora is an AI email assistant that screens your Gmail inbox, writes draft replies and summarizes the rest of your mail for people who want to read less email without missing anything important. Rather than adding labels to a crowded inbox, it removes most messages from view and collects them in a short brief twice a day. Cora is made by Every, which publishes a technology newsletter and builds a small bundle of AI apps.

What is Cora used for?

Cora is used to cut the time spent deciding what matters. It reads incoming mail, keeps the important threads in front of you and handles the low-priority remainder in summary form.

• Screening incoming Gmail so only messages it judges important stay in the inbox
• Sending a brief each morning and afternoon that summarizes newsletters, notifications and other non-urgent mail
• Drafting replies in your writing style and placing them in your drafts folder for review
• Learning your priorities from past email and adjusting when you tell it what you care about
• Letting you turn off specific features, such as drafts, or pause Cora entirely

Who Cora is best for

Cora suits founders, writers, executives and creators who receive a lot of email but only need to act on a fraction of it. People who already read Every or use its other apps get extra value from the bundle. Teams on Outlook, and anyone who prefers to see every message in the inbox, should look elsewhere.

Cora pricing

As of October 2026, Cora offers a 7-day free trial rather than a free plan. Professional costs $20 per month, or $240 billed annually, and covers 2 email accounts. Unlimited costs $39 per month, or $470 billed annually, and covers any number of accounts. Cora is also part of Every's bundle, listed at $20 per month for Cora, Spiral and Sparkle together, which is worth checking if you would use more than one of those tools. Confirm current terms on the official site before subscribing.

Cora limitations

• Only Gmail and Google Workspace are supported for now
• Moving most mail out of the inbox takes some trust, and you may check the brief often at first
• Drafts still need a review and a manual send
• There is no permanent free tier, so you pay after the trial

Cora vs alternatives

Fyxer AI sorts mail into folders and drafts replies for both Gmail and Outlook, which makes it the better choice for Microsoft users. Superhuman is a full email client with fast keyboard workflows and AI features, better if you want to replace your email app. Shortwave is another Gmail client with AI search and summaries. Cora wins for people who like the idea of a twice-daily digest and an inbox that only holds the messages that truly need them.

Tips for getting started with Cora

Give Cora a few days before judging it, since it learns from your existing mail and corrections. Read the first several briefs closely and tell Cora when something important was summarized instead of kept in the inbox. If you are unsure about drafts, turn them off at first and switch them on once screening feels right. Connect your second account on the Professional plan if you split work and personal email.
