@miestermad, thanks for the question. I wasn't familiar with BatchedInbox, but it looks as though Adios is different in several ways: - It's free, forever - You can add email exceptions to Adios, that get delivered immediately - You can pause Adios (for e.g. 24h) if you're expecting an important email. - I think the UI is a bit more modern (but I'm biased as I designed it) ;)

@miestermad so i see you built this to "make the world a better place"... but who are you selling the data to? sounds like Unroll.me all over again

@philip_kallberg Hey Philip, not sure if that question was meant for me, but we certainly don't sell the data to anyone (and never would / never will). If you check Tom's response to Lui Kohl, you'll see why we built Adios 😄

@harry_marshall3 thanks for the heads up! 😃i just can't help but be skeptical on free offerings like this, because after 1 year of maintenance, costs, opportunity costs etc. it'll probably be more enticing for you to monetize...

@philip_kallberg if that was directed at me, I didn't built BatchedInbox. I've been using it for a while and wanted to know Adios was different.

I've been doing this for the last few weeks, although sometimes I slip up and check it more often! Sometimes you are just waiting by for an email ha.

Hi everyone. Makers of Adios.ai here. Harry and I are super excited to see this appear on Product Hunt today! Nice surprise. Happy to take any questions. We built Adios to solve our own problem: email was killing our productivity. The constant context switching every time a new email jumped in. Getting to the end of the day, and feeling like all we'd been doing is answering emails. Receiving emails 3 times a day (I choose 8am, 1pm and 5pm) has been totally game changing. Some of the, perhaps unexpected, advantages: - I don’t have to watch internal threads evolve (I’m effectively only getting a summary digest every 5 hours). To my delight, problems that in the past I would have jumped on to solve, are often solved by someone else long before I even see them. - I’ve noticed other people’s behaviour change: the emails I receive now are far more succinct and “actionable” than they ever were before. In the past, emails would be more like conversations. Now (presumably because I reply to any chain max 3 times a day) the conversation is far more focused on getting things done. - And I no longer receive emails at unsociable hours (after 5pm I never receive another email until 8am). As a result I’m happier, more focused at work, and I’m sleeping better at nights. Look forward to your feedback. :)
