ScapeReview: an inbox that drafts the reply before you open it

Savor is a free phone app for the things too small or too vague for a to-do list: call the dentist, book that trip, deal with the parking fine. Say it, type it, or snap a photo of the letter or flyer, and Savor turns it into a card. Cards sit in three lanes, Now, Soon, and Later, and come back with a reminder when their date gets close. The AI part is Take Action, still in beta. Open a card and it helps you work out the next step: compare options, build a list, look up public information, or draft the message you've been putting off. You can also hand a card to someone else who uses Savor; once they accept, it's theirs, reminders included. Photos of bills and letters are read automatically, and Siri can add cards hands-free. It's free on iPhone and Android while the company has paid plans on hold.

Hark is a personal AI assistant that handles everyday errands for you: booking travel, ordering food, paying bills, scheduling appointments and doing research. It's for busy people who want to hand those chores to an assistant and only step in to approve. You connect your email, calendar and online accounts, and the home screen fills with action cards, such as a bill to pay, an appointment to book or an expense to approve, each of which you can approve with one tap. For jobs that need the web, a cloud agent called Handoff opens a browser, does the work and shows you each step as it goes. Payments still need your confirmation, and saved logins and payment details are end-to-end encrypted.

Loqua is a Mac and Windows app that types what you say into whatever field you have open. Press one shortcut and talk in Slack, Mail, Notion or your browser. Clean text appears at the cursor with the filler removed, and it adds lists and headings based on how you spoke. You finish the email or Slack reply right where you are, with nothing to copy over from a notes app. The same shortcut can rewrite selected text by voice, translate into more than 100 languages as you speak, or take a screenshot of a chart or error and answer questions about it. It needs the internet to process speech, but your history stays on your device. After a 14-day Pro trial, the free plan gives you 5,000 words and 10 screenshot questions a week. It doesn't work offline and there's no phone app yet.

AskDeck makes a PowerPoint the way you'd ask a colleague for one. Text it, leave a voicemail, call, fill in a form, or email the agent (he's called Eric) with your memo attached: "Board update Thursday, 12 slides, from this memo, in our template." Eric works out the story, builds the deck in your own master template, writes speaker notes and sends back a free watermarked preview. Want changes? Ask in plain English. What you get is a real .pptx you can edit, so there's nothing to export from some web format. It can also make a narrated video with captions from the same slides, which means the two always match. You can upload an old deck to reformat it or turn it into a video. One finished deck is $29. Pro is $99 a month for three decks plus your brand kit, and Teams is $299 a month for five people.
