Tasklet outpaced Shortwave's four-year revenue

This jump shows the team found a market where the product buys back labor, not just improves a familiar workflow. Shortwave asked people to switch email clients for a better inbox. Tasklet lets them describe a job, connect apps, and have an agent do the work on a schedule. That creates a much clearer payback case, which helps explain why a few months of Tasklet growth could outrun years of Shortwave revenue buildup.

• Shortwave was a Gmail layer. Users brought in an existing inbox and got a better interface with bundles, pin, snooze, and team features. That is useful, but it competes against a free default and asks customers to change daily habits. Tasklet instead sells direct automation outcomes, which are easier to budget against saved time.

• Tasklet also has a much faster self serve monetization path. Its pricing starts free, then moves to $25 and $100 per month plans tied to credits and agent usage. That fits the way early users experiment, then pay more as they run more workflows. The company went from about $385K ARR at the end of 2025 to $5M by March 2026.

• The same team background matters here. Shortwave already reflected a Firebase style product philosophy around intuitive workflows and strong user feedback loops. Tasklet applies that to a larger spend category, business process automation, where a successful agent can replace repeated human steps across email, files, APIs, and browser tasks.

The next phase is turning this burst of prosumer and small team adoption into durable organizational spend. If Tasklet adds the enterprise controls on its roadmap, the product can move from individual experiments to shared operating infrastructure inside companies, which would make this early revenue gap versus Shortwave look even wider over time.
