Slashy vs Serif

Serif helps inside your inbox. Slashy is the inbox.

Serif learns your voice inside Gmail or Outlook. Slashy is the inbox itself, and it already knows what you’re replying to: the meeting you just had, the record in Attio, HubSpot, or Salesforce, the thread from last month. Open the thread and the reply is waiting, or send it by text from your phone.

What changes when the inbox is the product

The reply is waiting when you open the thread

Slashy drafts in your voice from the meeting you just had, the Attio, HubSpot, or Salesforce record, and your past threads with this person, inside the thread you are reading.

Questions & answers

How is Slashy different from Serif?
Serif is an assistant that works inside the Gmail or Outlook client you already have. Slashy is the client itself: a keyboard-first inbox with importance labels, drafts grounded in your meetings and CRM, follow-up tracking, a calendar, and control from iMessage and Slack, on one plan.
Does it prep meetings like Serif?
Yes. Before each meeting Slashy gives you a brief on who you are meeting, the latest threads, and the CRM context, and afterward it can draft the follow-up.
Which CRMs does it support?
Attio, HubSpot, and Salesforce. Slashy grounds drafts in the CRM record, not just your tone.
Which accounts does Slashy work with?
Slashy works with Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook.com, and Microsoft 365, on web, desktop, and iOS. There is a native Mac app, a fast web app, and a native iOS app, with Android coming soon.
What does it cost?
Slashy is $30 a month, or $25 a month billed annually ($300 a year), for unlimited usage on one plan. The 7 day trial includes every feature, requires a credit card, and can be canceled any time.
Is my email data safe?
Yes. Slashy has completed a SOC 2 Type II audit and encrypts data in transit and at rest. Your email is never used to train AI models, and you can revoke access anytime.
