InboxVudu aims to analyse your messages in order to work out what's important and what's not - great for those who struggle to stay on top of their inbox. I'd be interested to know if anyone's tried this, and if it does a good job of assessing the priority of messages.
@riaface I've been using the iPhone app for a few weeks and love it; quickly reminds me about mails that I sent (where I expected a follow-up and didn't get one; and vice versa, where I dropped the ball on replying) -- it's really well-done.
@daveschappell I've been using the iPhone and Gmail apps for a while now too. The iPhone app is especially useful in giving me notifications when I get emails about things like people trying to schedule a meeting, requesting a document/followup/etc from me, and other time sensitive requests that I might not get to in email for a while otherwise
Thanks @devahaz - as you've seen, unlike other mail apps which show the first 'n' characters of a message as a notification, we display the exact sentence which requires your attention. It works beautifully on the Apple Watch as well :)
I've been using InboxVudu for a while and I can say that I do love the push notifications on my iPhone. It's been a great way to quickly see if I need to answer something in my email right away or something that can wait. The Chrome extension has also been really helpful in letting me see what really becomes a to-do list of my email since I can see the messages asking me for something (to each their own on email management, but this definitely fills in a piece of whatever system you use).
I've been using InboxVudu for a while now and absolutely love the app. Its great at bubbling up notifications of exactly the email you want notifs for, such as when someone you are meeting with emails to tell you they are late or changes meeting location.
Hi Product Hunters,
Thanks to @riaface for featuring us!
It’s exciting for to be featured on ProductHunt the same day as Facebook M! They’re the new personal assistant for Chat, and we’re the new personal assistant for Email.
For all you compulsive email checkers, InboxVudu gives you a purified, timely, high signal-to-noise ratio stream of your messages. You can turn off notifications from your regular email client(s) and use InboxVudu instead. You’ll be interrupted less when you work, and you can then just catch up on the rest of your emails later.
InboxVudu uses natural language understanding and machine learning to prioritize and surface your important emails. These are primarily emails that contain requests that need your action. These show as Highlights in the app, and also come in as notifications. Our notifications show the most relevant sentence in the email rather than the first ‘n’ characters that all other mail apps rely on making it possible to assess the importance of the message instantly, without reading the full message. InboxVudu’s team has deep expertise in machine learning and natural language understanding, so you’ll see super accurate detections.
On the flip side, InboxVudu also detects requests that you send out, automatically creating a list of emails that you may need to follow up on. Personally, this has saved me several times from dropping the ball on mission critical stuff!
If you have an Apple Watch, notifications will also go to your watch. You’ll be able to read the full text of emails as well as reply to them using one tap short replies that we suggest or by dictating a reply. We use natural language understanding tech to suggest one tap quick replies, such as when you just need to answer “yes” or “no” to a question. We’ve been told we’re the first app that makes email usable on the Watch!
Thanks for checking out InboxVudu and we’re looking forward to hearing your feedback and answering any questions!
Hey @kiam888, can you look at the content and block calendar as well?
Say a mail comes "let's meet day after tomorrow" and I reply "sure". Can Vudu add that into the calendar?
I've been using this product -- the Chrome extension and the iPhone app -- for the past 2 mos. I like both the push notifications for the emails that the AI indicates could be urgent and I like the end-of-day email digest. Both help me to stay on top of some of the more actionable/timely emails. Well done!
I've been using the app for a while now and absolutely love it. On days I'm overwhelmed with email, it's truly a lifesaver, bc I know I can quickly respond to the most important emails. Very nice job by the team. And they iterate fast - thank you!
@shripriya Good to hear we're helping with your email overload - forgetting to reply to important emails was exactly what inspired us to build InboxVudu
I have this installed on several of my accounts, my favorite part is the summary email basically saying "Hey, don't forget ... someone's waiting for this from you"
I love InboxVudu - glad to see it posted on PH!. It helps me keep track of important emails, but more importantly, the InboxVudu notifications on my Apple Watch surface just the key emails that need my response/attention. That is a genius use case for the Apple Watch - I could not possibly survive getting a notification for every email, and the VIP function is too limited (you can’t possibly predict who will send you a key email and need a response urgently).
InboxVudu is awesome. I love how it pings me everyday and uses machine-learning to remind me which emails I need to follow up on *and* respond to.
Mental stress, gone.
