Revo delivers 10x better emails by giving you the full business context across all your workplace tools, ensuring every AI-generated draft is powered by your team's collective knowledge rather than just your inbox history.

While ChatGPT is excellent for ad-hoc email drafting, it's a general-purpose AI, not built for email productivity. Revo is purpose-built to connect your email to your full business context, turning fragmented signals into actionable business intelligence.

See the difference
Same email. Two AI tools. Watch what happens when one knows your business, and one doesn't.
ChatGPT is a powerful general AI - but it's not built for email workflows.
Limited native email workflow integration
While ChatGPT offers some email integrations through connectors, it's not designed as a native email management platform with unified inbox control.
Revo integrates directly with your email and business tools as a complete workflow solution.
No business context
ChatGPT doesn't natively connect to your CRM, your deals, your meeting history, or your business priorities without manual input or third-party integrations.
Revo connects to your full business context for intelligent, relevant responses.
No workflow management
No unified inbox management, ticketing, CRM integration, or automation. Primarily a chat interface.
Revo is a full intelligence platform with workflow integration.
Accuracy concerns
Information can be factually incorrect or outdated. Dates, names, and figures require manual verification.
Revo offers an intelligence grounded in your actual business data.
Ready for an AI that actually knows your business?
ChatGPT is great for quick ad-hoc drafts. But if you need integrated business intelligence — Revo was built for you.

Email use case
ChatGPT is widely used for ad-hoc email drafting through several methods:
- Browser extensions: ChatGPT for Gmail and similar extensions enable direct drafting within email clients
- Native integrations: OpenAI offers official Outlook Email and Calendar connectors
- Copy-paste workflow: Users still commonly draft emails in ChatGPT and paste into their email client
- Common use cases: Writing cold emails, follow-ups, professional communications, overcoming writer's block, rewriting for tone and clarity
Key limitations for email workflows:
- Requires manual context with each request, no persistent business knowledge
- No unified inbox management or workflow automation
- Generic output without extensive customization (though Custom Instructions and Memory features help)
- Lacks deep CRM, document, and multi-signal integration that dedicated email AI tools provide
- Best for one-off email drafting rather than comprehensive email workflow management
Bottom line:
Users leverage ChatGPT extensively for email composition (40% of people use or will use AI for emails), but dedicated email AI tools with native integrations, business context, and workflow automation provide superior solutions for professionals managing high email volumes.
If you've used ChatGPT for email and want a purpose-built solution, you're not alone.
The core limitations:
- Built as a general-purpose tool, not designed specifically for email workflows
- No persistent business context across your CRM, deals, and company data
- Requires manual context with each new request
- No unified inbox management or workflow automation
- Best for one-off drafting rather than comprehensive email intelligence
Revo takes a different approach.
Revo is purpose-built for business email intelligence with deep integrations across your entire workflow.

FAQ
Got questions? We’ve got expert-backed answers to help you navigate every step of your journey.
This is where Revo leaves other tools behind. Revo doesn't just "search" your tools when you get an email. Instead, it builds and maintains Intelligence Modules—a living memory of your company that updates in real-time.
The Difference: Revo already knows the status of every project, the decision made in this morning's meeting, and the latest Slack update before you even open your inbox.
Example: When a client asks, "Is the bug fixed?", Revo doesn't have to go look it up. It already knows the fix was shipped in v2.4 this morning and drafts the confirmation instantly based on that verified fact.
No human at Revo ever reads your emails. Revo is an automated infrastructure. We use secure APIs (the same ones Gmail/Outlook use) to structure context—like identifying a project deadline—and draft your reply. We are SOC 2 and ISO 27701 compliant and certified, and your data is siloed. It is never used to train public AI models. You own your data, period.
Absolutely. While Revo makes you faster individually, it makes teams significantly smarter. When your team uses Revo, you build a Shared Intelligence. Your drafts can reference context from a meeting your co-founder had, or a ticket your engineer just closed, ensuring everyone speaks with one unified voice.
Yes, if you want it to. Revo includes a high-fidelity Meeting Recorder that joins calls (Google Meet, Zoom, Teams) to capture decisions and action items. This "Meeting Intelligence" is instantly fed into your context modules, so your email drafts normally know what was discussed 5 minutes ago without you typing a summary.
