Kagi Mail: Suggestions Based on My Personal Email Experience

InternetChunk

I’ve just looked it up LMAO WHAT. For an unheard of company charging at least 25$ a month for mail is so outrageous and ludicrous I can’t even begin to fathom it.

InternetChunk are you talking about SuperHuman? Yes expensive. To be clear, it is not even an email service just the UI for Gmail or Outlook. Having said that, it is fantastic and addicting. Super fast and keyboard optimized (like the Sublime editor if you are familiar with that). SuperHuman is hugely popular in silicon valley and was recently acquired by Grammarly. BTW, don't sleep on Grammarly -- it is an AI powered plugin with millions of existing users

InternetChunk SuperHuman has been pretty popular for a while.

RobOK Frontend for gmail for 25$ is absurd.
Regarding AI slop correcting grammar like Grammarly - autocorrect is a thing and if someone wants their sentences to sound more professional.. read more books.
But if Kagi would add something like that make it absolutely opt in optional, I never wish to see AI shoved down my throat by default.

OK. my post really was about the UI of Superhuman. I don't use AI features in email. 🤝

Kagi Team: Please stick to search & translation. Would love to see translation built out with an API option.

I really have no need or interest in another email option. I currently use & pay a provider that does only one thing and does it exceptionally well: email. I think there's a lesson there. Trying to do too many things is a recipe for mediocrity at best - disaster at worst.

ritzy_duck I find it ironic that you include translation there, arguably it’s no more “core” to Kagi’s initial product than email.

I believe the topic of privacy needs to be discussed more prominently. There's 0% chance of me using or recommending a mail service to anyone if it's hosted in the U.S. or any of the eyes countries for that matter. In fact, it might even be problematic that Kagi itself is headquartered there.

amazingefren I know, I know, I personally don't rely on AI that much, BUT my partner does. She uses her email a lot more than I do for work, and having an AI system in place for composing has been a massive improvement for her. I'm guessing this was already planned based on Kagi Assistant, but I could be wrong.

There are good sides of this of AI which I believe could be useful if Kagi can implement. A few things that I have seen that could be very beneficial for people with more than one job is:

important email aggregator where top priority emails are put in a separate "focused" inbox. A VIP option similar to apple mail could be implemented here as well.
automatically tagging emails whether its marketing or receipts or updates on my appointments (this could enhance itself more with one click calendar addition).
having one click templates for things like replying like greetings or closing or acknowledgements or requesting more information etc.
natural language searching across the inbox would also be a quality of life improvement

kirkmc Hey.com 'can' read emails but in exceptional circumstances under protocols. Not sure how that is required to surface email based on sender/domain and show files in summary view by sender/thread etc.
