AI email follow-up means software drafts the bumps you would forget to send. In Orbit, you ask Hiro, the one assistant built into the app, to review your inbox. It finds threads quiet for 3 or more days and drafts a follow-up for each, plus replies you never sent. Nothing goes out until you approve it.
Orbit has one AI assistant, Hiro, that opens with Cmd or Ctrl-J inside the app. Ask it to look through your conversations and it finds two things: threads that have been quiet for 3 or more days, and messages where someone is still waiting on a reply you never sent.
For each one, Hiro writes a draft. Not a template blast, but a bump grounded in the actual thread: what was discussed, what was promised, the natural next line. Every draft waits for you as a suggestion you approve, edit, or dismiss. Orbit runs on a built-in email inbox, so there is no Gmail connection needed and every message shows on the contact timeline.
Hiro drafts. It does not send. That distinction is the whole design: every follow-up lands as a suggestion, and an email only leaves when you approve it. You can edit any draft before it goes, or dismiss it without a trace.
That approval rule covers everything Hiro does, from follow-ups to invoices. AI is included on every plan with free monthly credits, no API key to paste and nothing to configure. Paid plans can bring their own key when credits run out. The email inbox itself is free for up to 100 sends a month, and Pro at $14/mo raises that to 2,000 with open and click tracking.
| Orbit | Doing it yourself | |
|---|---|---|
| Response time | Drafts ready when you ask | Whenever the guilt hits |
| Coverage | Every thread quiet 3+ days | The two or three you remember |
| Tone | Drafted calm, edited by you | Written tired at 11 pm |
| Records kept | Logged on the contact timeline | Buried in your sent folder |
| What slips | Nothing sends without your OK | The reply you swore you sent |
Most deals do not say no. They go quiet, and the follow-up never gets written. Hiro makes sure it at least gets drafted.
