The founder inbox, on your Plate.
Investors, customers, candidates, and fires all arrive as email.Plate pulls out the replies, tasks, must-reads, and follow-ups that need you.
Free for 14 days. No credit card required.
Plate tells you exactly what to do with every email
For every thread on your plate, Plate spells out the next move — the reply to send, the task to finish, the code to copy, the follow-up to chase — pinned right under the email.
Plate reads each thread and pins the action it needs underneath: send this reply, complete this task, copy this code, follow up on this person.
Drafted replies you can send in one tap
Plate suggests the answers — pick one and send, or open it to edit. No more staring at a blank reply box.
Tasks pulled out of long threads
Plate extracts what you actually need to do — the form to fill, the deadline to hit, the decision to make — so nothing buried gets missed.
Each item tells you what it needs. Handle it, archive it, and end the session with nothing waiting on you.
