What is Cora?
Cora is an AI email assistant for Gmail that screens your inbox, drafts replies in your style and sends twice-daily briefs of everything else. It is built by Every, the media and software company known for its AI newsletter, and drew strong attention on X after its 2025 launch. Every pitches it as a chief of staff for your inbox at $20 a month.
Cora's approach is to keep most email out of sight. It decides which messages truly need you and leaves those in the inbox, then groups newsletters, notifications and other low-priority mail into a brief that arrives twice a day so you can skim it in a minute. For messages that need an answer, it writes a draft in your tone and places it in Gmail's drafts folder for you to review and send. It currently supports Gmail and Google Workspace accounts only. Founders, executives and anyone buried in email use it to reach inbox zero without hours of triage.
