The AI workspace for your emails

Your inbox is a knowledge graveyard disguised as a communication tool. Buried in the stream of newsletters, notifications, and reply-all chains are the emails that actually matter: client instructions, project decisions, important attachments, introductions, confirmations, receipts, and the thread where someone explained why the approach changed. Finding any of it means searching by sender or subject line and hoping you remember one of those. The email from three months ago that contained the brief? Somewhere in thousands of messages. The attachment with the financial model? In a thread you'd have to scroll through to find. The decision that was made over email last quarter? Good luck. Email search is keyword-based, single-account, and terrible at finding things by what they're about rather than who sent them.

Fabric gives your important emails a second life outside the inbox. Forward anything that matters, and it becomes searchable by meaning alongside your documents, notes, meeting records, and everything else in your workspace. The knowledge in your email stops drowning in the stream.

Forward anything important, once

The path is simple. When an email matters, forward it to your email-to-note address. The email and its attachments land in your Fabric workspace, searchable immediately. One forward. One action. The content is out of the inbox and into a system designed for retrieval, not just communication.

For Gmail users, Fabric connects directly, bringing in emails and attachments without manual forwarding. Important threads, correspondence, and attachments flow into your workspace alongside everything else.

The email, including its attachments, is captured in full. A PDF attachment is readable and searchable by content. An image attachment is searchable by what's in it. The email text itself is searchable by meaning. Nothing is lost in the forward.

Search email content by meaning, not by sender

Inbox search asks you to remember who sent the email, or the exact words in the subject line, or the approximate date. Fabric's AI search asks you what the email was about.

Ask "the email where the client confirmed the revised timeline" or "the attachment with the competitor pricing analysis" or "the thread about switching payment providers" and find it by meaning, across every email you've forwarded to Fabric, alongside your notes, documents, and other content. The search doesn't care about sender, date, or subject line. It understands the content.

The AI assistant works across your saved emails too. Ask it to summarise a long thread, pull together everything a specific client has sent, find the email that contained a particular decision, or trace the evolution of a project through its email correspondence.

Emails connected to the work they relate to

The biggest problem with email as a knowledge store isn't the search. It's the isolation. A client email about a project sits in your inbox, disconnected from the project documents, the meeting notes, and the deliverables. The context is fragmented across tools.

In Fabric, a forwarded email lives alongside everything else in the relevant space. The client's email about the project sits next to the project documents, the meeting transcripts, and the deliverables. When you search for the project, the email, the document, and the meeting record all surface together.

Forward client correspondence into a client space for client work. Forward deal-related emails into a deal space for your CRM. Forward project decisions into the project documentation. The email joins the context it relates to rather than sitting in a chronological stream separated from everything.

Turn email into action

An email often contains a commitment: something to do, something to follow up on, something to deliver. In the inbox, that commitment competes with every other email for attention. In Fabric, it can become a tracked action.

Create tasks and reminders from forwarded emails, so the commitment is tracked alongside the email that created it. The task and the email live in the same space. When the task is due, the context is right there.

Annotate forwarded emails with your own notes: what needs to happen, who's responsible, what the deadline is, how it connects to other work. The annotations are searchable, so your thinking about the email is as findable as the email itself.

Important emails, automatically organised

Forwarded emails are tagged and categorised by smart organization based on their content. Client correspondence groups with client material. Project emails cluster with project documents. Administrative emails sort by type. The organisation happens without you filing.

Over time, the emails you've forwarded form a searchable record of the correspondence that mattered. Client instructions, project decisions, important confirmations, and key attachments are all retrievable by meaning, connected to the work they relate to, and independent of your inbox's search limitations.

Does this replace my email client?

No. Fabric isn't an email client. Your inbox stays where it is. Fabric is where the important emails go to be searchable, connected, and useful long-term. Think of it as the knowledge layer on top of your inbox: the archive of correspondence that matters, freed from the stream.

How is this different from just searching my inbox?

Inbox search is keyword-based, limited to one email account, and disconnected from your other work. Fabric searches by meaning across emails and every other content type, connects correspondence to the projects and clients it relates to, and gives you an AI that synthesises across your saved emails. The difference is between searching an inbox and searching a knowledge base that includes your most important correspondence.
