Cora

Cora is an AI inbox assistant that screens emails, pre-drafts replies in your voice, and delivers twice-daily summaries to tame email overload.

Our take: Cora is a focused, well-executed AI email layer for Gmail that acts as a personal chief of staff: it screens your inbox, surfaces only messages needing action, auto-drafts replies in your writing style, and batches everything else into morning and evening briefs.

Best forFounders, executives, and high-volume email users who want to reclaim hours lost to inbox management without giving up control over what gets sent

One line each. Open a row for detail.

What it really isCora — AI inbox assistant by Every that screens Gmail, drafts replies in your voice, and delivers twice-daily briefings.
Our takeCora is a focused, well-executed AI email layer for Gmail that acts as a personal chief of staff: it screens your inbox, surfaces only messages needing action, auto-drafts replies in your writing style, and batches everything else into morning and evening briefs.
It offers a free trial, then paid plans; the standalone plan is $15/mo (or $20/mo bundled with an Every subscription). No permanently free tier exists after the 7-day trial.
Why we rate itCora is one of the few AI email tools that genuinely changes inbox behavior rather than just labeling messages.
The voice-matched drafting, conversational override, and strict no-send policy address the biggest objections to AI email automation in one product.
The catchGmail and Google Workspace only — no Outlook, Apple Mail, or other providers.
Scope is email-only; no calendar, tasks, or cross-app workflows. Costs grow if you manage multiple accounts.

Best / not good for

Best for
  • Founders and executives drowning in high-volume Gmail inboxes
  • Professionals who batch-process email and want pre-written drafts ready to review

  • Teams needing shared inbox or collaborative email workflows
  • Users wanting a fully autonomous send-on-my-behalf AI agent
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: connects to Gmail in minutes; Cora analyzes email history on signup and starts screening within the first day.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Per-account pricing ($15/mo each) adds up quickly for power users managing 3+ inboxes.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: works entirely within Gmail's ecosystem; drafts live in Gmail Drafts so data stays accessible, but rules, briefs, and personalization are Cora-specific.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, try it on the official site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free version of Cora?

Cora offers a 7-day free trial that gives you access to the full feature set. After the trial, a paid subscription is required to continue using the service.

Which email providers does Cora support?

Cora currently works with Gmail and Google Workspace accounts. Support for other providers such as Outlook has not been announced as of 2026.

Does Cora send emails on my behalf automatically?

No. Cora generates draft replies for your review, but nothing is sent until you explicitly approve it. You remain in full control of all outbound communication.

What is the difference between the Professional and Unlimited plans?

The Professional plan covers two email accounts, while the Unlimited plan supports as many accounts as you need. Both plans include email screening, pre-drafted responses, and daily summaries.

Who gets the most value from Cora?

Cora is best suited for entrepreneurs, founders, executives, and anyone who receives a high volume of email daily and needs to respond quickly without spending hours in their inbox. It is especially useful for solo operators or small teams without a dedicated executive assistant.
