Hi HN, we’re Neha and Akash from April ( https://tryapril.com ). We are building an AI executive assistant to help you get through emails and manage your schedule, hands-free while you drive to work, or whenever else you prefer voice interaction.
Here's a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISKwEyuQQEo#t=50

While driving 40 mins daily from SF to Berkeley, my inbox would flood to 30+ emails and I'd have back-to-back meetings lined up. I'd reach work already behind, then spend another hour just catching up. We figured with recent advances in voice AI, we could solve this dead time problem and start doing things on the go.
You can just speak to April and it can:
- Summarize important emails and flag what needs attention
- Send replies that I dictate (it handles the formatting and tone)
- Review my calendar and reschedule meetings on the fly
- Pull context from email threads for each meeting
- Archive/organize emails into folders
