24 alternatives to LIAM
Hi HN, yesterday I missed a meeting and spent most of the day sending ~35 emails. That kind of inbox + calendar admin has been draining my time for a long while, so I built LIAM to fix it. It helps with: - Drafting replies in your tone (honestly a bit scary how close it gets) - Scheduling meetings and handling the back and forth - Prioritising important threads and organising the inbox Important: LIAM doesn’t send anything without approval. I’d love feedback on what you’d actually trust an email agent to do, and which email workflows you’d automate first. You are more than welcome to roast…

Hi HN :) really excited to share this with you. The one thing AI reliably does is generate noise. Half the tools I see launch are just machines for producing more noise across more channels. And people are starting to see this in the form of emails in their inboxes as spam filters are struggling. There used to be a useful signal in email: the effort a sender put into customizing a message was a rough proxy for how relevant it actually was. AI killed that. Now it's customized slop with the appearance of effort with none of the cost. It is painful that the open internet / open channels…

Supamail AI▲214I run multiple projects and D2C brands, which means I manage 6 different Gmail accounts and easily get 100+ emails a day - team updates, invoices, customer queries, newsletters, OTPs… everything mixed together. After missing a few important emails that actually cost me money, I realized the problem wasn’t the number of emails, it was how hard it was to make sense of them. So I built Supamail, an AI-powered inbox that helps you read less and understand more. Here’s what it does: - Emails in last 24 hrs shrink into clear summaries, smart categories, and easy replies so you never feel…

min.▲102I'm a control freak, the thought of having AI auto-replying to emails is ridiculous. Every founder I've met are the same way, just typing the words "Put your support/sales on auto-pilot" makes me cringe. I built min. to help me and my teammates with emails. Who should read it, who should reply, when to follow up, etc. min. is: - A simple email interface to manage both private and team inboxes. - An AI-native inbox that sorts and prioritizes messages into custom labels and folders. - A replacement for patchwork of CRMs, helpdesks, and spreadsheets with just… email. - Conversational…

Dirac▲128It all started 4 months ago during my last startup. Even with barely any traction, I was getting about 20 emails a day. Some from cold randoms, some internal, some from prospects. And I just wasted so much time in my inbox. The current solutions? Superhuman and HEY. Sure they're pretty but the ai is just an after thought. And the tool that was supposed to help me just makes me, my own assistant. So I went and built Dirac. We're launching in 8 hours, https://www.producthunt.com/products/dirac-3?launch=dirac-4

Kanmail▲101Hey HN! Been a while.. last post for reference in 2020: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22985055. Moved city, job and had two children since then which is wild :) Been working away shifting Kanmail over to a Go backend (using the excellent wails) and rewriting the frontend in TypeScript. This "new" v2 is much quicker, overcomes a bunch of old limitations (no age limit on paginating folders) and finally gets a working Linux AppImage (*my Linux test setup is somewhat limited and I expect there's plenty of edge cases here - hit me up if you have issues). Anyway, would love…

I spend way too much time reading emails and scheduling. I just want something that handles it for me.. without needing a whole new app. So, I’m building this thing that lives in WhatsApp. It helps with emails, scheduling, todo lists etc.. right from my whatsapp. Honestly, I feel like batman with alfred at my sevice lol. Still veryyy early, but I wanted to check if others would be intrested. Would love to hear what you think. <3

Hi HN, I built Merlin because I was overwhelmed trying to stay on top of email, meetings, and Slack while leading frontend at a fast-paced startup. I just wanted something that could help me figure out what actually mattered — and act on it, fast. Merlin connects to Gmail, Google Calendar, and Slack. It: • surfaces your highest-impact priorities (e.g. VIP emails, missed follow-ups, urgent meetings) • drafts replies in your voice • accepts or declines meetings based on context • builds your daily plan before you open your laptop You can interact with it like a chat assistant. Think of it as…

Qordinate▲30Hey HN - founder here. I'm building Qordinate with a simple (big) idea: Most AI assistants talk to you. I want one that talks for you - one that can share, negotiate, and coordinate on my behalf with others. Reality: we're early. Today, Qordinate can: - send clean pings on your behalf (with your approval) - collect info/files via tiny forms and track replies - nudge people politely and close the loop with you - do basic actions via connectors (Gmail/Calendar/GitHub/Linear/Drive/Slack) - keep lightweight lists in chat (tasks, contacts, logs) Why I'm doing this…

Hey everyone, Through my career, I've spent too many hours and too much mental load on busywork like scheduling and following up on people's availabilities. So, I built Carrie. You simply cc her into your emails, and she sorts out meeting times across time zones, finds what works best for everyone, confirms the meeting and sends the invite. She handles scenarios beyond what Calendly can handle and it’s been freeing me up from the back-and-forth of juggling different meeting requests. I’ve been testing this with a beta group of users and am now looking to expand the user pool (please feel…
