An AI email assistant that uses your Slack, calendar and notes

Scrubbr is an AI email assistant that reads your Slack, your calendar and your Granola meeting notes, as well as the email thread, before it drafts your reply. Hold Option in the reply box, say one line, and the draft appears at your cursor with the facts from those apps already in it.

The options

The assistants you can pick from, and what each reads

Most AI email assistants start from the inbox, and they differ in what else they read.

The table lists what each tool's own pages say. Where a page does not mention Slack, a calendar or meeting notes, we say "we did not see it". That is not a claim that the tool lacks it.

What each AI email assistant reads, per its own pages
AssistantWhere it worksWhat it reads, per its pages
Gemini in GmailIn Gmail, from the compose window and a side panel.Your emails: its smart reply writes "based on the context of your emails", and a draft can pull in a Drive file you tag with "@". We did not see Slack or meeting notes on that page.
Copilot in OutlookIn Outlook, from the Copilot box.The key points you name in your request. Microsoft's guide to Copilot prompts says a source can be your emails, chats and files, with a work or school account. We did not see a calendar or Slack on the Outlook page.
FyxerIn Gmail or Outlook, inside the inbox you already have open.Your past emails, to learn how you write. Slack and Teams appear as integrations on its pricing page, and Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar on its home page. We did not see a page that says your drafts use them. It also writes up notes from Google Meet and Teams calls.
Superhuman Email AssistantIn Gmail or Outlook."Every draft uses your inbox, calendar, and the web", and it learns your voice from the emails you have sent. We did not see Slack or meeting notes on that page.
ScrubbrAny app with a text cursor, including Gmail and Outlook.Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar and Granola, plus your CRM (HubSpot and Salesforce) and a knowledge base.

Superhuman also sells Superhuman Go, which connects other apps through "pre-built or custom MCP connectors". That is a separate product from its Email Assistant. Go's page says it works in Slack. We did not see a Granola connector named there.

Fair is fair

When an inbox assistant is the better fit

Scrubbr does not suit every inbox job.

  • You want the inbox sorted for you. Fyxer says it "organizes your inbox", and Superhuman's Email Assistant says it sorts incoming messages and reminds you to follow up. Scrubbr is not a separate inbox app. It writes in the inbox you already use.
  • You live in Gmail on a Workspace plan. Google says Gemini is included with all Google Workspace subscription plans. If your replies only need the thread and your Drive files, it may be enough.
  • You live in Outlook on Microsoft 365. Copilot in Outlook drafts from your request and lets you change tone and length.
  • The facts for your reply sit in other apps. The answer is in a Slack thread, the time is on your calendar and the promise is in your call notes. That is the case Scrubbr is built for.

What it reads

What Scrubbr reads before your reply

A good reply needs more than the last message.

What Scrubbr reads before it drafts a reply

What you promised on the callGranola meeting notes
Who the customer isYour CRM (HubSpot or Salesforce)
Your terms, prices and policiesYour knowledge base

You choose which tools to connect. Nothing is searched until you speak a line that needs a fact, and only the pieces that fit the reply are used. While you hold the key, Scrubbr can see which app you are in and which box you are typing in.

Four steps

How a reply comes together

You stay in the email you are already writing.

  1. Open the reply. Click into the box in Gmail, Outlook or any app with a text cursor.
  2. Hold Option and say what you mean. "Tell Marcus SSO is on track and move Thursday to Friday" is enough.
  3. Scrubbr checks your apps. It finds the thread, the Slack update, the free time on your calendar and the note from the call.
  4. The draft appears. You read it, fix any word you would not use, and send it yourself.

Worked example

From "reply to Marcus" to a draft with the facts in it

Dani runs Pinecrest Scheduling, a 15-person software company, and a customer asks two things in one email. The answers sit in Slack, her calendar and her call notes.

In Gmail

You say

optionreply to Marcus, tell him the SSO work is on track, say Thursday doesn't work for me, offer Friday morning, and keep it short and friendly

Scrubbr finds

  • Gmail · Marcus Reyes, "SSO and Thursday" (4 messages)
  • Slack · #eng, Lena Park: "SSO is in testing, ships Wednesday"
  • Google Calendar · Thursday 2:00 pm busy; Friday free from 9:30 am
  • Granola · Alder Dental call: "Needs SSO before the 1 December rollout"

Scrubbr writes

Hi Marcus,

SSO is on track. It is in testing now and ships on Wednesday, ahead of your 1 December rollout.

Thursday at 2:00 does not work for me. Could we talk on Friday at 9:30 or 10:00 instead?

Thanks,
Dani

Questions

Questions on AI email assistants

Is there an AI email assistant that uses my Slack, calendar and meeting notes?

Yes. Scrubbr reads Slack, Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar, and Granola meeting notes, along with the email thread, before it drafts your reply. You choose which of those tools to connect.

What are my options for an AI email assistant?

The common ones are Gemini in Gmail, Copilot in Outlook, Fyxer, Superhuman's Email Assistant and Scrubbr. The first four work from the inbox, and the table above shows what each one's own pages say it reads. Scrubbr writes in any app and reads your chat, calendar and meeting notes as well.

Does Scrubbr only work in Gmail?

No. It works in Gmail, Outlook and any other app with a text cursor, on Mac and on Windows. The same line works in an email, a Slack message or a document.

Does it send the email for me?

Scrubbr writes the draft at your cursor. You read it, change it and send it yourself.

What does Scrubbr cost?

It costs $12 a month on the yearly plan, or $15 a month if you pay monthly. You can try it free for 3 days with no card, and adding a card gives you 7 more days.
