We have to admit, 2024 has been an incredible year here at Inbox Monster. Fueled by product innovation and an amazing roster of enterprise brands and technology partners, sometimes we have to pinch ourselves because of all the great things we have accomplished together.

Apple released Apple Intelligence (Apple AI) with the release of the iPhone 16 this past October.

So we can all make more excellent email. Huzzah!
