Comparison
How Beemy compares.
Beemy isn't a chatbot, a hire, or a faster inbox: it borrows a job from each and does it differently. Compare it to the approach people usually reach for first. Or compare it to a specific tool like Superhuman, Fyxer or Microsoft 365 Copilot. Every named-tool claim below is sourced and dated.
Compared to an approach
Three alternatives, three dimensions that matter most.
| Dimension | A general AI assistant | Hiring an assistant | A smart inbox | Beemy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How it works | You prompt it, one task at a time, and it forgets when the chat ends. | You brief a person; they work business hours and build judgement over weeks. | Gives you faster shortcuts and filters; you still process every message. | Works in the background across your inbox and calendar today, Slack next, not a chat window you open. |
| Cost | Often free to ~$20+/month for a general chat subscription. | Typically $3,000–$6,000+/month, plus benefits and management. | Roughly $10–30/month for a faster client. | $29–49/month, free to start. |
| Control | Waits for a prompt; suggests text for you to send yourself. | You delegate and largely trust their day-to-day judgement. | You write and maintain the rules yourself. | Approval-first — you set the autonomy dial, category by category. |
The deep-dives
Pick the comparison closest to your situation.
You already have an AI. Here's what it can't do.
A general-purpose assistant waits for a prompt and forgets when the chat ends. Beemy works across your whole life in the background: your inbox, your calendar, your reading. It remembers who everyone is without being told twice.
Read the comparison →Beemy vs. a human assistantCheaper than an assistant. And it never sleeps.
A great human assistant brings judgement, relationships and real-world representation. They also cost thousands a month and take weeks to ramp up. They read everything in your inbox to do the job. Beemy handles the high-volume routine 24/7, keeps you in control, and costs less than a lunch out.
Read the comparison →Beemy vs. a smart inbox toolFaster at doing email isn't the same as done.
A quicker email client or a shelf of filters can make you faster at processing your own inbox. You get better shortcuts, snippets, and split views. Beemy makes the triage decisions itself: it drafts the replies and files the rest. Opening your inbox then means reviewing what's left, not working through all of it.

Six named tools, sourced from their own pages.
| Tool | What it is | Where it runs | Who it's for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Superhuman | A keyboard-first email client whose AI labels, archives, summarises and drafts a reply to every email. | Gmail or Outlook. | Enterprises and high-volume teams already living in their inbox. | Superhuman Mail is included from Business, $33/member/month billed annually. |
| Shortwave | An AI agent for Gmail: organises, schedules, writes and searches on a prompt. | Gmail and Google Workspace only; Microsoft 365/Exchange not supported. | Teams already living entirely in Gmail. | From $30/seat/month (Business). |
| Fyxer AI | An assistant layer that triages your inbox, drafts replies in your tone, and takes meeting notes. | Gmail and Outlook, the same product either way. | Individuals through 50+-seat organisations. | From $22.50/user/month (Starter, billed annually). |
| Cora | A twice-daily Brief that summarises the inbox so you rarely have to read it directly. | Gmail and Google Workspace only. | Busy professionals, founders and executives with high email volume. | From $20/month (Professional, 2 accounts). |
| Gemini in Gmail | Google's built-in AI writing partner for Gmail: drafts, refines and summarises threads. | Gmail and Google Workspace. | Personal Google Account holders in the US, and Google Workspace or Google AI plan subscribers. | Free with a personal Google Account (US only); otherwise from Workspace Business Starter ($7/user/month) or Google AI Plus ($9.99/month). |
| Microsoft 365 Copilot | Microsoft's AI add-on for Outlook — drafts, summarises, coaches tone, and prioritises your inbox. | Outlook, on an existing Microsoft 365 licence. | Organisations already on Microsoft 365. | Add-on to a Microsoft 365 plan — $18/user/month (Business) to $30/user/month (Enterprise), both paid yearly. |
| Beemy | One assistant across your whole life: inbox and calendar today, Slack next, not a faster client for one of them. | Gmail + Google Calendar live in beta today; Outlook and Slack are clearing their safety gate next. | Anyone whose work and personal life both run through email and a calendar. | $29–49/month, free to start. |
Read the sourced, side-by-side breakdown.
Both draft for you. The difference is what they know about you.
Superhuman is a keyboard-first email client with an AI layer that runs on its own. It labels, archives, summarises, and drafts a reply to every email. Beemy runs a comparable loop, then goes somewhere Superhuman's own pages don't. It models your voice per relationship and gives you an autonomy dial you promote category by category. Your personal life also stays in a separate silo from your work.
Read the comparison →Beemy vs. ShortwaveAn AI-native inbox, if you live entirely in Gmail.
Shortwave is an AI agent built natively for Gmail and Google Workspace: organise, schedule, write and search with a prompt. Beemy runs the same kind of triage and drafting without a prompt. It works across Gmail today and Outlook next, so it isn't tied to one provider.
Read the comparison →Beemy vs. Fyxer AIThe closest comparison in this category.
Fyxer AI is an assistant layer over Gmail or Outlook. It triages your inbox, drafts replies in your tone, and takes notes on your calls. It's the closest thing to Beemy on this whole list. The real differences are in breadth, and in what's shipped today versus what's still in beta.
Read the comparison →Beemy vs. CoraTwo ways to get out of your inbox.
Cora rolls almost everything you don't need to answer into a twice-daily Brief. You can then skim your inbox in seconds instead of hours. Beemy takes a different route to the same goal: continuous triage. It decides, drafts and files as messages arrive, rather than batching the review into two sittings a day.
Read the comparison →Beemy vs. Gemini in GmailGoogle already put AI in your inbox. Is that enough?
Gemini is Google's own AI writing partner built into Gmail: it drafts, refines and summarises. A personal Google Account gets it at no extra cost in the US. For a lot of people that's already enough. Beemy's case is narrower and worth stating plainly: deciding what deserves your attention. That loop spans both providers: Gmail and Google Calendar are live in beta, Outlook is next.
Read the comparison →Beemy vs. Microsoft 365 CopilotThe same objection, on the Microsoft side.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is Microsoft's own AI add-on for Outlook. It drafts, summarises, coaches your tone and prioritises your inbox, grounded in your organisation's Microsoft 365 data. Beemy makes the same case here as it does against Gemini. It infers a priority model from your relationships, rather than a written rule. That loop spans both providers too: Gmail and Google Calendar are live in beta, Outlook is next.
