Flash.co

Shopping emails pile up fast: receipts, shipping updates, promotions, all mixed in with everything else.

Flash.co is an AI shopping assistant that sorts through those messages so you can track your online purchases and manage shopping email in one place.

It also cuts down on the shopping-related spam that lands in your inbox.

Flash.co has a rewards program that pays you back for using it, though rewards will not appeal to everyone.

The company says it focuses on data privacy, but the setup relies on connecting your email account, and that is the main catch.

Some people will be uneasy handing over inbox access to any service, even one that promises care with the data.

How well Flash.co works also depends on how accurately its AI categorizes your emails.

If it misreads a message, you may still end up hunting through your inbox.

As an AI email assistant built around shopping, it makes the most sense if you buy online often and your inbox is already full of order confirmations and promotions.
