What is the best AI executive assistant?
For Gmail users who want the full EA job (triage, drafts, follow-ups, scheduling and a daily brief) in one tool with a human tap before every send, Momo AI. For scheduling alone, Clara or Reclaim. For a build-your-own agent, Lindy. For drafting and sorting across Gmail and Outlook, Fyxer.
We make Momo AI, so read our placement of it with that in mind. Prices are from each vendor's own pricing page on 11 October 2026 and change often.

Momo AI: the whole job, with a tap before every send
Momo AI is built as an AI executive assistant for Gmail and Google Calendar. It does all five jobs and adds a promises tracker. The design choice that sets it apart is that nothing is sent without your approval, which is why it can be trusted to prepare more. Gmail only. Free now, ₹499 per month planned.
alfred_: closest in shape
alfred_ is also an assistant on top of your existing mailbox, with triage and drafts in your voice, and it supports Outlook and IMAP as well as Gmail, from $25 per month annual. It is the tool most like Momo AI, priced in dollars. If you want to compare the two directly, read both pricing pages the same day.
Clara: scheduling by email, fully autonomous
Clara does one EA job, scheduling over email, and does it without asking you, by design. $80 per month. If you want the autonomy and only need scheduling, it fits. If you want a human check, see the Clara alternative page.
Reclaim: calendar defence, not email
Reclaim protects focus time, places habits and fixes recurring meetings. It does not read your inbox. From a free Lite plan to $15 per seat per month on Business. Pairs well with an email assistant; see Reclaim alternative.
Lindy: build the EA yourself
Lindy is an agent platform. You can assemble an EA from routines across 1,500+ apps, priced by credits from $49.99 per month for a team. Powerful, but it is a project. The Lindy alternative page covers the trade.
How to pick
Ask what your EA would spend the most hours on. If the answer is email, start with an inbox assistant. If it is calendar, start with scheduling. If you are not sure, the morning brief is a good first test: a tool that can write you a useful brief has read your inbox and calendar properly.
