Why a New Inbox?

Most AI email apps still treat the inbox as a stream of messages with smarter add-ons—search, summaries, and canned replies. Useful, but you’re still copying details into a task app, juggling tabs, and hoping nothing slips. Filo starts from a different premise: email is work. So the product is designed to turn every message into momentum.

At Filo’s core is the Inbox → To-Do flow. When mail arrives, Filo extracts the ask, due dates, links, and next steps, then binds them to a lightweight task you can act on immediately. The task stays linked to its source conversation, so context is one tap away and updates stay in sync as the thread evolves. Instead of “read → copy into a task manager → return to email,” Filo compresses the loop to “see → do.”

This flow is reinforced by noise-cutting triage and context you can trust. Smart Filters separate Important from Promos and Updates the moment mail lands, so you always process what matters first. Thread-aware summaries capture decisions, dates, and who-said-what; Filo’s built-in AI chat can pull facts, translate, or draft a response in your tone from the same context—no switching tools or losing the trail.

Filo is built for everyday email, not just office threads. School notices, deliveries, travel bookings, invoices, community updates—Filo treats “life admin” as first-class work. The same Inbox → To-Do pipeline that clears your project backlog also clears the stuff that keeps your day moving, so your whole inbox turns into a manageable queue rather than a guilt pile.

All of this sits on privacy-first architecture. Message bodies aren’t stored on our servers; mail is locally cached and encrypted, and AI endpoints are zero-retention. You get powerful assistance without handing over your inbox.

In short, Filo doesn’t just make email smarter—it makes it actionable, turning Inbox → To-Do while keeping your privacy intact.
