Comparison
Two 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.

Cora An AI inbox tool that keeps messages needing a reply in your inbox and rolls everything else into a twice-daily Brief.
Beemy One assistant for your whole life: inbox and calendar today, Slack next.
At a glance
Seven ways the two philosophies differ.
| Dimension | Cora | Beemy |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Gmail and Google Workspace only: “Outlook and other email providers are not supported yet,” per Cora's own FAQ. | Gmail and Google Calendar live in beta today; Outlook next as it clears its own safety gate. See what's next → |
| The core idea | A twice-daily Brief that summarises everything you don't need to respond to, so you “read your inbox in 30 seconds instead of 3 hours.” | Triages continuously and surfaces what needs you as it arrives, plus its own daily or weekly digest for newsletters and feeds. |
| Drafting | Drafts a reply into your Drafts folder whenever it has enough context — you review and send it yourself. | Drafts in your learned voice, ready for a one-tap approval, with no separate folder to check. |
| What it screens | Keeps messages that need a response in your inbox; rolls newsletters, notifications and calendar invites into the Brief. | Weighs every message by relationship and urgency, and reads your newsletters, blogs and subreddits into one tuned digest. |
| Accounts | Professional plan covers 2 email accounts; Unlimited covers unlimited accounts. | One account per plan seat: Individual or Team. See plans → |
| Work and personal | No stated separation between account types; the same Brief model applies to however many accounts you connect. | Personal and work kept in strictly separate architectural silos, never blended into one feed. How the silos hold → |
| Price | Professional from $20/month (2 accounts, billed annually); Unlimited from $39/month (their pricing, checked 1 Aug 2026). | $29–49/month, free to start. |

Beemy's message
Beemy weighs the sender and the deadline the moment this lands. It reaches you straight away, while the routine mail stays filed where it was.
You see it while there's still time to act. Everything routine waits for your next sit-down.
The real difference
A brief you check twice a day vs. triage that runs continuously.
Cora's Brief is an elegant answer to inbox volume. It batches the low-stakes mail so you read it in one pass. Cora is clear that this is a split, not a delay. Messages it judges you need to respond to stay in your inbox “for you to see ASAP,” and only the rest rolls into the Brief. Beemy draws the same line continuously instead of on a schedule. It weighs each message by relationship and urgency. Whether it needs a reply is not the test.
See everything it handles →Drafting
A drafts folder to check vs. a draft ready to approve.
Cora writes a draft into your Drafts folder when it has enough context. That is a good, low-risk default. Beemy's drafts sit in the same approval flow as everything else it does. You read the draft and tap approve or edit. Your correction teaches the model for next time.
How the approval ladder works →Work and personal
One Brief for every account vs. two silos that never mix.
Cora applies the same model to however many Gmail accounts you connect, with no stated separation between them. Beemy is built differently. Personal and work are structurally separate stores from the start. A work Brief or draft can never surface something from your personal life, or the reverse.

Looking for a Cora alternative?
Cora is not the only way to get out of your inbox. Here are the other options, including some that are not Beemy.
- Fyxer AIYou want real-time triage and drafting on Gmail or Outlook, not a twice-daily summary.
- Gemini in GmailYou want AI drafting and summaries bundled into Gmail itself, on a plan you may already have.
- ShortwaveYou want an AI agent you can prompt for search and scheduling, not just a Brief.
- BeemyYou want the same “stop reading everything” outcome, plus calendar today and Slack next, with work and personal life kept in separate silos.
When to pick them instead
When Cora is the better tool.
If your goal is to open your inbox less often, Cora is built for that. You read a twice-daily summary instead of the raw stream. It is a shipped, generally-available product today at a low price. If most of your email needs a reply and not a skim, Beemy is worth a look. If you need Outlook today, another tool on this list is the better fit. Cora states that Outlook is not supported yet, and Beemy's Outlook is still clearing its safety gate.
Questions
Fair questions, straight answers.
Does Cora work with Outlook?
No, Cora's own FAQ states plainly: “currently Cora works with Gmail and Google Workspace. Outlook and other email providers are not supported yet” (cora.computer, checked 1 Aug 2026). Beemy's Gmail and Google Calendar are live in beta today, with Outlook next on the roadmap.
Is Cora worth it?
If your inbox is mostly newsletters, notifications and FYIs, Cora's Brief is a well-built, inexpensive answer. You skim it twice a day and skip continuous triage.
Can I use both Cora and Beemy?
They overlap heavily in the same lane: reducing how much of your inbox you touch. Most people pick one. Cora is an inbox-only Brief for Gmail. Beemy adds calendar today with Slack next, and it separates the account entirely from your personal-life data with an architectural silo.
What is the difference between Cora and Beemy?
Cora rolls the inbox into a twice-daily summary and drafts into a folder you check. Beemy triages continuously and drafts ready for one-tap approval. It extends the same model to your calendar and, as it rolls out, Slack. It keeps a strict architectural line between work and personal accounts.
