Google unveils Inbox, a new app to fix email

Inbox, which launched Wednesday, offers a different way of handling the daily avalanche of email.

Specifically
created with
mobile users in
mind, it sorts
and turns emails
into reminders,
highlights the
important bits
and adds outside
information it
thinks is helpful.
Inbox seems
to be heavily
influenced by
Mailbox’s timesaving,
remindercentric
approach.
It also borrows
some neat
features from
Google Now.
Inbox works
by grouping
similar messages
together, like bills, in what Google calls “Bundles.”
You can schedule a bundle to only show up at specific
intervals, say once a week. Inbox will highlight what
it thinks are the key parts of an email, like contact
information, confirmation numbers or photos.
Messages can be turned into reminders, reminders
can be snoozed, and important emails “pinned” while
the rest are whisked away. – CNN
