Odo

Building @odo_email, your AI email assistant. @ycombinator S24, previously at @robinhoodapp

Odo is an AI email assistant for busy operators who treat their inbox as a triage problem rather than a to-do list. It reads incoming mail, surfaces the messages that actually need a response, and drafts replies that match the user's writing style, with the goal of removing the habit of constantly checking email. The company is a Y Combinator S24 startup positioning itself around the idea that you deserve a better morning. The product centers on a daily brief rather than a chat interface. Every morning, Odo reads through the inbox and flags what is most important in a 2-minute brief, so users stop scrolling through mail to figure out what they need to work on. Beyond triage, it can help find who to follow up with, retrieve a contract someone sent last month, or summarize a 100-email thread , and it auto-drafts confirmations, reschedules, and replies that the user can review before sending. The launch lands at a moment when AI inbox tools are crowded, and Odo's bet is that a structured morning digest plus voice-matched drafts is more useful than another assistant bolted onto Gmail. The team comes out of Robinhood. Yooni Ahn is CEO and co-founder, and previously built products and business at Robinhood across Robinhood Gold, Customer Care during GameStop, and Original Content for five years , with earlier consulting work at Oliver Wyman. Co-founder and CTO Andrew Wagner is also ex-Robinhood , giving the founding pair a shared background in shipping consumer software at scale before turning that experience toward email.
