But filtering emails isn't the same as understanding them. Revo connects your email to your full business context — CRM, meetings, documents, metrics — for intelligence that goes beyond sorting. You don't just see fewer emails. You understand what they mean for your business. ### Where Sanebox Falls Short Sanebox is a capable filtering tool - but it has limitations once you need business intelligence. ## Filtering only, not intelligence Sanebox sorts emails into folders based on sender importance. But it doesn't understand your deals, your CRM, or why a message actually matters to your business. > **Revo is different:** Revo connects your email to your full business context — understanding meaning, not just sender patterns. ## Limited features on basic plans The Snack plan ($3.49/month) only allows 2 features at a time. The Lunch plan ($5.99/month) unlocks about 6 tools. Full access requires the Dinner plan ($16.99/month). > **Revo is different:** Meaningful functionality at every tier. ## No integrations Sanebox has zero third-party integrations — no Slack, no Trello, no calendar apps, no task management. It only does email sorting. > **Revo is different:** Revo connects across your entire tech stack for unified intelligence. ## No visual dashboard Sanebox lacks analytics or insights. You can't see what the AI is doing or understand patterns in your email behavior. > **Revo is different:** Transparent intelligence with actionable insights. ## Occasional misclassification Users report Sanebox sometimes puts important emails from new senders into SaneLater instead of the inbox. The learning period takes 1-2 weeks to reach 98.5% accuracy. > **Revo is different:** Business context means understanding importance from day one. ## Ready for an AI that actually knows your business? Sanebox is great for filtering email. But if you need intelligence that understands your business — not just sorts by sender — Revo was built for you.

We've got expert-backed answers to help you navigate every step of your journey. ### What happens when I connect my other apps (Jira, Slack, etc.)? Revo builds and maintains Intelligence Modules — a living memory of your company that updates in real-time. Rather than searching tools when an email arrives, Revo already knows project status, decisions from meetings, and the latest Slack updates before you open your inbox. ### Does Revo read my emails? No human at Revo reads emails. Revo is automated infrastructure using secure APIs (the same ones Gmail/Outlook use) to structure context and draft replies. SOC 2 and ISO 27701 compliant. Data is siloed and never used to train public AI models. ### Does it work on Mobile? Yes. It works everywhere email operates — directly in Gmail, Outlook, or any preferred email client. After connecting your account, open the Gmail or Outlook app on your phone and drafts are ready to send. ### How do I get started? Setup takes about 30 seconds: click Connect to link your Google or Outlook account. No software installation or Chrome extension needed. Revo runs in the background — open email and drafts appear automatically. ### What if I want to cancel? Cancel anytime with one click from your dashboard. Upon leaving, you can request full deletion of your Intelligence Modules and data. We believe you should stay because Revo makes you superhuman, not because your data is held hostage. ### Can I use Revo with my team? Yes. Team usage builds Shared Intelligence, allowing drafts to reference context from colleagues meetings or closed tickets, ensuring a unified voice across the organization. ### Does Revo record my meetings? Yes, optionally. The Meeting Recorder joins calls (Google Meet, Zoom, Teams) to capture decisions and action items, feeding Meeting Intelligence into context modules so email drafts reference discussions from moments ago. ### How is Revo different from ChatGPT or Claude? ChatGPT lacks company knowledge and resets conversations. Revo learns decisions, tracks their evolution, cross-links context, and improves daily. It provides full history, sources, and cross-linked impact.
