Readdle Spark for iPhone, iPad and Mac has gained a new AI-powered feature for summarizing long emails that you don’t have time to read thoroughly.

Called +AI Summary, it distills long emails and threads to their essence. If you’ve ever used ChatGTP, you know how this works. AI+ Summary extracts the most important information, actionable items and key takeaways from an email message.
You can also set your preferred summary style. Aside from making it easier to sift through long threads, the Summary feature also works great with newsletters, sales and PR pitches, recruitment drives and customer support, the company has it.
AI+ Summary is available in Spark for macOS, iOS, iPadOS and Android.
How to choose email summary style in Readdle Spark
To use the Summary feature, click the +AI prompts in the top-right corner of the mail compose window and choose from the below options, then hit Generate Summary.

Other AI-powered features in Spark
The Ukrainian developer previously brought AI-powered features to help you compose new messages quickly. Just click Generate a Draft, add some context (like a meeting at 10am) and Spark +AI will generate a draft for you.
Imagine you receive an email from a recruiter and use a quick +AI reply to respond with “Interested.” You want to add just a bit more context to your response and click on the “Rephrase with Prompt” option. +AI generates a newly phrased response based on the email you are responding to with the context provided.
Clicking Rephrase will create alternate wording, and you can adjust the tone of writing between formal and friendly. You can also proofread emails with this feature. And with another feature, dubbed Quick AI, Spark’s AI can generate a draft reply for you. All you need to do is pick Interested, Not Interested or Thanks.
How Spark’s AI uses my data?
Because these features transfer information to OpenAI, including any personal data found within the email body), Readdle has updated its privacy policy and terms of service with the sole purpose of providing you with Spark +AI functionality.
Readdle says that it doesn’t use your data to train its or OpenAI’s models.
