## Key features

- **Today tab:** A daily briefing that splits the day into Needs Action, Happening Today, Good to Know and More to Browse, with reply drafts and action items prepared before you open the inbox.
- **Automatic categories:** Mail is sorted into groups such as News, Shop, Receipts, Events, Travel, Notifications, Personal and Packages, and you can create custom categories of your own.
- **Bulk unsubscribe:** Shows who emails you most and how much of it you read, then unsubscribes using the sender's own unsubscribe method and adds a mailbox filter for that sender's future messages.
- **Voice Mode:** Speak a reply and Extra drafts it in your tone of voice, which it learns from the emails you send. The draft can be reviewed and edited before it goes out.
- **Extra Assist:** An assistant that answers questions from your inbox, such as finding a confirmation number or summarizing a month of ride spending, and helps draft replies.
- **Natural-language search:** Search by topic or context, for example a flight confirmation or a restaurant recommendation from last month, without needing the exact keywords.
