About Missive
Native AI credits and a steady drip of MCP integrations turn Missive into a credible AI inbox.
Missive is releasing on a roughly bi-weekly cadence, with most of the energy going into the AI assistant: tool-call introspection, native AI credits as an alternative to BYOK, MCP integrations with Todoist and ClickUp, and an Activity feed that lets the assistant analyze inbox/team-inbox/label state on demand. Calendar UX got drag-to-move and resize, Analytics gained inline time-series charts, and OpenAI EU residency support was added for European customers.
