Ever wondered why email hasn't fundamentally changed in 20 years? While countless startups have tried to replace email entirely, Gmeilius is taking a refreshingly different approach by enhancing Gmail itself with powerful AI-driven collaboration tools.

Florian's entrepreneurial journey began during his PhD studies when he created a simple Gmail extension to better collaborate on academic papers. What started as a personal productivity hack gained momentum among colleagues, leading him through a Geneva-based incubator and eventually to Y Combinator—a journey that hilariously had him rushing back to San Francisco just two days after his wedding. Through this evolution, Gmeilius transformed from a consumer-focused tool to a B2B solution that addresses Gmail's most significant limitations.

The genius of Gmeilius lies in its seamless integration with Gmail rather than attempting to replace it. By enhancing a platform users already know, they eliminate the adoption barriers that plague new communication tools. Their feature set—shared inboxes, Kanban boards, email automation, and SLA tracking—addresses the collaboration gaps in Gmail's native experience. Most importantly, their AI capabilities are transforming how teams handle email by automatically routing messages, drafting replies, and classifying conversations. As Florian provocatively states, "I really believe that the way we use email is dying," not because email itself is becoming obsolete, but because AI will fundamentally change how we interact with our inboxes.
