Flowboard is the central work surface

Flowboard brings inbox, calendar, and workflow state into one board so users can see what needs their reply, what is waiting on others, and what is already handled.

Ava connects search, drafting, and actions

The assistant can answer mailbox questions, prepare replies, find context, and help users act on conversations without turning email into another disconnected task list.

Automations, cleanup, and integrations are available

Avalon can support inbox rules, cleanup flows, Slack and Salesforce context through MCP, analytics, and BYOK or local model paths for teams that need more control.

Exact workflow counts

Users can see reliable counts for the conversations and tasks that need attention instead of relying on approximate inbox totals.

Status-aware breakdowns

Flowboard separates pending replies, overdue follow-ups, unread items, and open tasks so the next move is easier to prioritize.

Avalon surfaces what is happening right now across active work so users can quickly spot changing priorities.

Current workflow context

Pulse combines recent mail, calendar pressure, and Flowboard state into compact context for daily triage.
