This looks like a really positive step in the right direction. Email is becoming the telegraph of the tech realm, with people using it just because they have to but no real solution to address the underlying reasons for its use. At work, we use SMS and hipchat in addition to email, but I always cringe when I go into my inbox and see that long list of messages, especially when there's a thread. I'm really looking forward to checking out Copilot and hope it's good enough to become a part of my everyday work. Kudos for trying to tackle a huge problem!
I am very excited about the possible implications, if this solution really fits the bill, as you've described. My coworkers and I have definitely experienced the same problems. [As a side note, just in using the app while developing it, it's done a lot for me (even just from easing the mental block of not wanting to deal with a litany of emails)].
