About Fluidwave

Fluidwave is an AI task manager that turns your tasks, email, calendar and contacts into one clear next step for busy professionals, founders and small teams.

What Fluidwave does

AI task management

Type a task in plain words and Fluidwave sets the date, priority and project for you. Auto-prioritization ranks your work and shows it as a list, Kanban board, Gantt chart or calendar. The result: you open the app and see the one task to do next.

A built-in Gmail client

Fluidwave includes a full Gmail client with AI triage, email-to-task and one-click unsubscribe. Emails that need action become tasks in the same list as the rest of your work. The result: one inbox and one to-do list, not two apps that drift apart.

AI scheduling and time blocking

Fluidwave reads your Google Calendar, finds free time and blocks it for your most important tasks. It never moves or deletes the events you already have. The result: a realistic plan that fits the hours you actually have.

An AI assistant you can talk to

Chat with the assistant, named Fluid, or talk to it by voice to add, plan and change tasks. It uses your tasks, email, calendar and contacts as context. The result: less time sorting work and more time doing it.

Delegation to human virtual assistants

The Fluidwave marketplace (in public beta) connects you with human virtual assistants who can take tasks off your list. Payments go through Stripe, with escrow and milestones. The result: work gets done even when you do not have the time.

Automations and integrations

A visual automation builder handles routine email and tasks, with an optional AI auto-reply step. Fluidwave connects to Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Slack and Claude (through an MCP connector), and has a REST API. The result: fewer manual steps between your tools.

What makes Fluidwave different

Free, with no card and no contract

Fluidwave costs $0 per month. You do not need a credit card, and there is no contract to cancel. Motion starts at $19 per month (billed annually) and needs a card for its 7-day trial, and Akiflow has no free plan.

AI is included, not sold as an add-on

AI prioritization, email triage and the AI assistant are part of the free product. ClickUp charges $9 per user per month for its Brain AI add-on, and full Notion AI needs the Business plan at $20 per member per month.

Tasks and email in one app

Fluidwave has a built-in Gmail client, so emails become tasks without copy and paste. Todoist and TickTick have no email client, and Superhuman charges $25 per month (billed annually) for email alone.

On every major platform, in 16 languages

Fluidwave runs on the web, macOS, iPhone and Android, in 16 languages, with one account that syncs everywhere. Things 3 is Apple-only and costs about $80 to buy all three of its apps.

AI and human help in one place

Fluidwave pairs its AI with a marketplace of human virtual assistants, so you can hand a task to a person from the same list. Motion, Sunsama and Reclaim plan your day with AI, but none of them let you delegate a task to a human assistant.

Who uses Fluidwave

The team behind Fluidwave

Martin Adams

Martin Adams, Founder

For decades, productivity tools failed Martin: they either collected an endless list of things to do, or they gave him too many options. He built Fluidwave to fix that, and he uses it almost every day to run his own work.

Current and past team members

How Fluidwave started

Fluidwave started in 2021 with one question: what should I do next? Martin built an app that answers it for you, with AI that reads your tasks, email, calendar and contacts and ranks what matters most.

The team today

Fluidwave is a small, independent, founder-led, remote-first team. The company is not VC-funded, so it answers to its customers, not to investors.

How Fluidwave works

Onboarding

Sign up with your Google account. A guided welcome flow connects Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Contacts, then Fluidwave builds your first priority list. You do not need a credit card or a sales call.

Communication and support

Email support@fluidwave.com for help with your account. Your message goes to the small Fluidwave team.

Delegating to a virtual assistant

Post a task to the marketplace, agree on the price and milestones with a virtual assistant, and pay into escrow through Stripe. You release each payment when the work is done, so the turnaround time is agreed for each task.
