# Gmelius: App spotlight

Welcome to the world of modern work. It's a constant battle to keep your tools—and your team—in sync. Gmelius has devised a better way to bring all the benefits of the tools you use the most inside your Gmail workspace. 

Welcome to the world of modern work: Hunting down information, sending and re-sending attachments, responding to team members in your work chat, updating a project's progress, then updating your boss. It's a constant battle to keep your tools—and your team—in sync. 

And, of course, there's still email to contend with. 

[Gmelius](https://gmelius.com/) knows email is probably not going away anytime soon. That's why they've devised a better way to bring all the benefits of the tools you use the most right under one umbrella, inside your Gmail workspace. This allows teams to collaborate, communicate, and automate inside their inbox without adding yet another siloed tool into the mix.  

## Gmelius origins: Email is overtaken by SaaS

Gmelius was founded in 2016, courtesy of Florian Bersier. As professionals began to leverage email beyond just sending messages (like exchanging documents or collaborating on projects), he realized that email apps weren't evolving fast enough to support these changing needs. Instead, people had to use multiple tools to get their work done, using email as a starting point.  

His solution was this: Gmelius would condense productivity, collaboration, and automation tools into everybody's inbox. Work would still start in email, but it would also end there. 

## Gmelius today: The workspace that lives inside Gmail

Today, Gmelius has more than 10,000 paid customers including startups and full-on enterprises like JustWorks and Netflix.  

At its core, Gmelius is a team collaboration platform to share emails, manage projects, and automate daily workflows right inside Gmail. Think of it as a shared CRM that sits in your inbox. Teams can use it to assign emails to the right people, appoint tickets Kanban-style, add notes, and chat (privately) over how to respond to external emails.
