Roles:
1. Head of Growth (SF)
2. Senior Software Engineer (Gurgaon, India)
We're building voice-first AI executive assistants for email and calendar management—think having a real assistant who actually gets things done. Backed by Y Combinator and other investors, we're at an extremely early stage and moving fast to hire our growth lead and early engineering team.
Head of Growth - Own the 0→100K user journey. Build content-led growth across LinkedIn/X/TikTok, run viral B2C experiments, and craft our brand voice. We need a proven track record of growing consumer products, content creation chops, and unreasonable excitement about retention curves. Extremely competitive salary + equity + user milestone bonuses.
Senior Software Engineer - Build the core backend for our AI assistant. 2-6 years of experience, TypeScript/Python, with consumer product background preferred. Work directly with founders on architecture decisions. Must work from the office. Competitive salary + early equity + quarterly performance hikes.
Personally I won't do that as LLM's way of judging an unimportant email vs my judgement is different - we are still working on evolving that but again email is so different for different people that it will need a lot of learning.
But you can say remove all the emails which have unsubscribe text and it will do that in the batch of 20-100 (based on the app's rate limit at that time)
Means April will not send emails even if you dictate the email and ask it to send it. In safe mode, it will not have access to tool calls which are related to send email, move to trash.
Yeah, It does. We mentioned only few of the things in the demo or else it would have been very long. Apart from hard delete, create /edit labels - all operations can be done through April.
Create/edit/delete draft are very common use cases as people would like to read before sending.
You can - we have seen cases where people have deleted 1600 emails in one voice session. But as the pagination happens - it will be in batches, read/delete everything. We have to limit gmail's rate limits
I think the car dent story originally came from - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45008239. As I clarified there - the dent happened before the April demo, during hackathon stress while taking out the car from parking.
But totally valid criticism about cognitive load - better example could be dog walking, cooking or screen free time.
Valid concern - April does not write emails for you unless you specifically ask for it. Users usually dictate what they want to reply.
But do you think a 'safe mode' - where April does only non destructive operation like read/summarize/draft/move emails to a folder would help you build trust?
It's in our pipeline - we can prioritize it to mitigate that fear.
Yeah - April learns how you speak/correct your emails - it picks up your writing patterns and keeps evolving. The more you use it, the more it sounds like you rather than generic AI.
(cofounder here) Fair concern - cognitive distraction is real. We see it more like taking a phone call while driving (which people already do). We're purposely keeping interactions simple to make sure features aren't too distracting, and are working on a 'safe mode' that limits you to basic read-only operations while driving. We're actively researching attention management to make it simpler. Safety comes first.
(cofounder here) Honestly, we were hoping Gemini would nail this so we wouldn't have to build it ourselves, but here we are. The main difference is we're not bounded by Google's ecosystem - we're starting with Gmail but already working on Outlook and other integrations. Also, the goal is to build an executive assistant, not just a voice client for email and calendar.
I love your name, coincidentally the app mentioned here is called April - its voice only.
But for email companies - Superhuman is the most successful one.
Other solution which provide different features include Airmail, Sanebox, Mail0 to new a few - we feel this space need a bit of disruption as there is too much noise in emails while being one of the most important tool - we are trying by going voice first - will learn and implement based how it goes.
