Xobni and the address book that wrote itself
Your inbox knew who mattered. Your address book did not. Xobni built a business in the gap - then watched its idea become part of Yahoo Mail.
Shortwave Turns Gmail Into a Working Memory

Maestro Labs
Maestro Labs is a Singapore-based productivity software company that builds AI assistants for the tools people already work in - email, meetings and calendars. Its flagship product, MailMaestro, drafts, summarizes and prioritizes email inside Outlook and Gmail, while TeamsMaestro takes meeting notes in Microsoft Teams and CalMaestro handles scheduling. The company positions itself as the largest independent AI email assistant, competing directly with Microsoft Copilot, and reached that scale partly by acquiring Helsinki-based Flowrite in January 2025.
