Dedicated AI assistant vs built-in basics — what's the difference?
Gmail's built-in AI features — "Help me write" and smart compose — are convenient and free. But they only scratch the surface. Messybox adds intelligent inbox sorting, follow-up tracking, meeting summaries, and much more capable AI drafting that actually understands your communication style. Gmail AI is a nice starting point; Messybox is the full upgrade.
