Inbox AI

Inbox AI is a macOS-native automation tool that lets you interact with AI through voice or text to automate tasks, process emails, and build custom voice assistants. Designed for power users, developers, and productivity enthusiasts, it acts as a bridge between your Mac, your apps, and multiple AI models—both cloud-based and local. You can create complex workflows triggered by hotkeys, voice, email rules, or file changes, bringing AI interaction directly into your operating system. Core features include a custom voice assistant builder that can draft emails, search the web, fetch web pages, open apps, run shortcuts, and use MCP tools. The tool supports 13+ AI providers, from cloud powerhouses like Claude, GPT, Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek, and xAI to fully local models via Ollama and LM Studio. Deep macOS integration includes Apple Mail automation (flag, color, archive, junk), Apple Reminders, clipboard access, and the ability to run macOS Shortcuts with AI parameters. Multi-action workflows can execute actions sequentially or simultaneously, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) extends capabilities to databases, APIs, and file systems. Pricing is a one-time purchase with a 7-day trial—no recurring fees. You bring your own API keys or use free local on-device AI. The interface is hotkey-driven for minimal friction, and it plays nice with Raycast and PopClip. Inbox AI positions itself as a private, cost-effective alternative to subscription-based AI automation tools, giving you full control over your data and AI models.
