Comment on Shortwave: A GPT-3-powered front end for Gmailparent

Comments

I would have prioritized shipping a real client to Android users instead of an LLM first. There have been promises of upgrading the experience forever and the web wrapper has seen few and far improvements in I want to say two years now.

You're right. We're a small team of 10 people [1] and we have to ruthlessly prioritize. Gmail on web and iOS are our primary platforms right now. Our Android app is in beta and will be for longer. In the meantime, are improving the PWA experience. We just shipped a brand new inbox last week that has much better support for the Android PWA - finally fixes the back button issue we heard a lot about! I know it's not a native app, but that's not practical for our team right now. It will be eventually though.
