What it can do
- Core workflow
Shortwave is a Gmail/Google Workspace email client with contextual AI search, drafting, summaries, files, calendar and shared team threads/comments. Tasklet is a separate sister product for triggered multi-step automation. Connecting it to Shortwave requires separate Tasklet setup and access.[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]
- Connections and scope
Google email/calendar context, beta desktop-local or remote MCP tool connections and CRM email logging are documented. MCP currently supports tools with a 40-tool maximum, not all MCP resources/prompts/sampling. HubSpot/Salesforce BCC/forwarding logging is distinct from CRM write actions. Triggered arrival/label/scheduled/webhook work through Tasklet has separate setup and entitlements.[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]

The current business page lists Business $30, Premier $45 and Max $120 per seat/month with a 14-day trial; selected billing, AI quotas and searchable-history allowances differ.

Platforms: Web, Desktop, Mobile[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]
Access: Current web, desktop and mobile product paths are accessible. People authorize their Gmail context, review drafts and messages and configure permitted tools. Other-provider forwarding uses a Gmail bridge; Microsoft 365/Exchange is not supported, while some providers allow forwarding only rather than sending.[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]
