Today, we’re launching Scira InMail, a research analyst that lives inside your inbox. Email re@search.scira.ai with any question and you’ll get a comprehensive, cited reply that feels like it was written by a teammate who reads academic journals, scans the web, monitors Reddit communities, and follows experts on X. No logins, no extra tools, just answers where the conversation already happens.

Keep it simple: forward the thread, ask a clear question, and InMail replies with sourced insight in the same email chain. Follow-up questions work like a normal conversation, so everyone stays aligned without jumping between tools.

Email is the easiest workflow

  • Anyone can CC it: forward investor asks, customer questions, or product debates and everyone stays on the same thread.
  • Natural follow-ups: reply again with “Can you dig deeper on pricing trends?” and it keeps the context.
  • Shareable results: the response arrives as a polished HTML note, so leaders can skim, clip, or forward without extra formatting.

Use cases we keep seeing

1. Executives pressure-testing bets

Need to brief the board on a potential acquisition or sanity-check a new market? InMail assembles competitive context, regulation shifts, and sentiment snapshots you can drop straight into a deck.

2. PMs validating roadmap decisions

Forward user feedback, attach screenshots, or paste a rough idea. You’ll get feature comparisons, buyer sentiment, and proof points from real conversations happening online.

3. GTM teams crafting narratives

Marketing and sales teams pull InMail into deal threads to answer “How does this stack up against X?” without waiting for an analyst. Responses land fast enough to reuse in the same-day follow-up.

4. Analysts covering more surface area

Analysts use InMail for first-pass research so they can focus on proprietary insight instead of initial source gathering.

5. Founders staying on top of everything

Juggling fundraising, customers, and product? InMail delivers multi-source summaries before your next call so you can respond with actual signal.

6. Support and success teams anticipating questions

Heading into a renewal conversation? Ask InMail for current best practices, common pitfalls, or examples from adjacent industries and walk in prepared.

7. Agencies and consultants scaling insights

Boutique shops use InMail to gather cite-heavy pull quotes they can reuse across pitch decks, strategy docs, and client updates.

What makes the replies trustworthy

  • Every factual claim is cited inline, so you can click through and read the original source.
  • The agent mixes narrative paragraphs with short bullet lists, making it easy to scan on mobile.
  • Replies are long enough (500+ words) to provide nuance, but structured so key answers pop.

How teams make the most of it

  • Set up a shared alias (e.g., research@company.com) that auto-forwards to InMail so anyone can ask without memorizing addresses.
  • When you need a follow-up, quote the section you want expanded. The agent stays in context.
  • Pair it with recurring rituals (weekly strategy notes, win/loss recaps, investor updates) so the heavy lifting is handled automatically.

How to get started

  1. Email re@search.scira.ai from any device with your question or hypothesis.
  2. Include extra context (call transcripts, screenshots, spreadsheets) if you want the agent to lean on them.
  3. Expect a response in minutes, then keep the thread going like you would with a human researcher.

Looking ahead

Slack, GitHub, Linear, and other work tools will plug directly into InMail so the agent can pull context without manual forwards.

Have a topic you’ve been avoiding because digging into it felt like a slog? Try InMail and let the agent do the heavy lifting while you stay focused on decisions.
