## Definition

**Kora** is the AI email client built by Kieran Klaassen and Brandon Gell that removes 90% of your email from the inbox and briefs you twice a day, so you read the bottom line and focus only on what matters.

Kora is the **AI email client** built by Kieran Klaassen and Brandon Gell. Its approach to inbox overload is aggressive: it **removes 90% of your email** from the inbox and instead **briefs you twice a day**, so you read the bottom line and focus only on what matters. The starting pain point was simple — nobody enjoys opening an inbox with 10,000 unread messages, and the result is dread, lost context, and wasted time.Kora is also a story about how quickly AI products can now ship: a **functioning V1 existed by the next morning**, and the full product went from idea to launch in roughly **three months**, with a waitlist launch that went viral.Kora didn't begin as a briefing tool. It started as an **email assistant that generated drafts** — a crowded category. The insight that changed it: it doesn't matter how well an LLM mimics your voice if it isn't in your brain, because about **50% of emails you need to respond to require context the model doesn't have**. So Kora only drafts emails it can do a *great* job on. The deeper realization was that the real stress is *managing the inbox*, not responding — responding is the pleasurable part, because it means something is progressing.- Kora is an AI email client that archives 90% of email and briefs you twice a day. - A working V1 shipped in a day; the launched product took about three months. - It pivoted from generic drafting to drafting only emails the LLM can nail. - The core problem it targets is inbox management stress, not composing replies.
