About Kwaga
Kwaga was founded in 2008 by Philippe Laval (founder and former CEO of Sinequa, an enterprise semantic search engine vendor) along with a team of seasoned software entrepreneurs, backed up by top computational linguistics and development talent.

We would love you to try out Kwaga here.

With so many emails it's hard to remember what everyone's doing. That's why we created the Kwaga SmarterEmails™ toolkit. We bring all of the email conversations (threads) you're having with someone into one centralized place tracked automatically to help you remember which email threads (that contain important stuff like questions, tasks, meetings) you may have forgotten to answer and who still owes you an answer to one of your emails (that also contain important stuff like questions, tasks, meetings).

Kwaga's Gmail Smart Reminders available in the Chrome Web Store








We are excited to announce the availability of Kwaga inside the Chrome Web Store - which Google launched today!

To install Kwaga inside the Chrome browser, go first to the Chrome Web Store, search for Kwaga and click Install. Next time you’ll open Gmail or Google Apps, you'll be prompted to link your account with Kwaga. From then on, you'll get two dashboard panels at the bottom of the browser window with a short-list of pending emails requiring your attention.

We are big fans of the Chrome web browser. Developping an extension for it was a breeze! Thanks to Kwaga's SmarterEmails API and Chrome's top notch extension framework, we managed to develop & launch our extension in just a few days.

We hope many new users will discover and enjoy the Kwaga service, via the Chrome Web Store.
