A mailbox cleaned by artificial intelligence could make work more efficient.
Hundreds of unread newsletters and other notifications that have popped up in the e-mail are certainly a problem that many people know.
Founded by former Google employees Shortwave has developed an application using artificial intelligence that organizes email chaos.
Shortwave advertises users achieving so-called “zero email” (inbox zero) and maintaining it. The purpose of the application is to improve productivity and help the user save time.
If desired, the application also summarizes the content of longer emails for the user.
The application can be used for free, but there is a monthly fee of 8.54 euros ($9) for more demanding emails. Business accounts have their own payment programs.
Easier scheduling of work
Business Insider says Shortwave uses GPT3 artificial intelligence, which is also used by ChatGPT.
According to the developers, the technology has two stages, which are sorting and automation.
The purpose of sorting is to help the user prioritize important emails.
The purpose of the automation is to define the amount of fatigue associated with the selection of e-mails, as well as to help with work scheduling.
E-mail clutter takes up unnecessary work time
Shortwave’s application seems promising when the numbers are taken into account.
Harvard University according to this, extra monitoring of e-mail consumes 21 minutes of the working day. An American consulting company McKinsey & Company on average, more than a quarter of the working day is spent reading e-mails.
E-mail cleaned by artificial intelligence can thus computationally facilitate the efficiency of an 8-hour working day by about two and a half hours.
