Beyond shared labels
Shared Gmail collaboration is useful. Buyers who need multi-provider mail, social and multi-step AI actions look further.
LOOKING FOR A HIVER ALTERNATIVE?
Shared Gmail is not the whole workday.
Makeo is an agentic AI workspace for email, conversations, calendar, tasks, knowledge, social and connected tools.
