Former Pinterest team redesigns email with Extra

A new consumer technology company, BuildForever, founded by former Pinterest designers and engineers, has launched Extra, a redesigned email application. Extra aims to solve inbox overload by organizing emails around the user's life, featuring a 'Today' tab for critical information and custom categories as tabs for personalized organization. The app utilizes AI for background intelligence and an optional AI assistant for tasks like finding emails and replying via voice. The team intentionally avoids marketing Extra as an AI-first product, focusing instead on solving fundamental user problems with intelligent organization.
