Product Overview
What is Hedwig?
Hedwig reimagines the inbox as a visual board where email, calendar, to-dos, and documents live side by side as draggable frames. Instead of switching between tabs and apps, users arrange their day on a single canvas and let the built-in agent handle drafting replies, scheduling meetings, filing threads, and tracking promises. The system connects to Gmail and Google Calendar through official APIs, keeping all data under user control while surfacing actionable items directly from email threads. A unique outbox ensures nothing sends without explicit approval, and voice or text commands can instantly generate the frames needed for any task.
Key Features
Infinite Canvas Inbox
Email arrives as movable frames on a board alongside calendar views, to-do lists, and documents, letting users organize their day visually instead of in folders.
Agent-Driven Workflows
Built-in agents read the board to draft replies, schedule meetings, file newsletters, extract action items, and stage tasks for approval before anything moves.
Voice and Text Command Bar
Users can speak or type natural requests like 'catch me up' or 'when am I free for Sam?' and the system generates the right frames and drafts instantly.
Shared Team Boards
Teams get shared canvases with collaborative frames, task assignments, and manager insights while personal mail remains private to each user.
Secure Outbox Control
All agent-written drafts land in a single outbox and require explicit user approval before sending, ensuring full control over outbound communication.
