@AnujAdhiya@UXAndrew Agreed! I was surprised when it didn't find its way into G+. It could have been a great differentiator vs. Facebook. Every wall post could turn into a live group chat.
From what I've initially gathered, Google is centralizing the many inboxes we all have (email, to-dos, flight reservations, receipts, etc.). Here's a lovely GIF:
Seems like something that should be a part of Google Now/Android notification tray.
1. Best product I've seen developed by a non-research team at Google in 3 years.
2. It's like Mailbox if Mailbox could do what Mailbox hoped to do.
3. Glad it's finally out for everyone to use.

@niket From your comment in #2, was this a response to Mailbox? Also curious if anyone from the old Sparrow team worked on Inbox.
@eric3000 Someone asked if this was like Mailbox, and my response is that I think both of these awesome teams are trying to help people communicate better and be more effective.
I think in terms of execution Inbox is ahead of Mailbox thanks to integrations with Google's other services. I have a ton of respect for both teams and wish them well as we try to navigate digital communication.
I'm not sure I want Google–or any ad-supported service for that matter–host my todo list (here come the todovertisements!), but it's encouraging to see at least one big player innovate in this area. Looking forward to try it out!
In case anyone is interested in the topic of structured inboxes, I [theorized](https://medium.com/@marckohlbrug...) about this before and there's now a team at Assembly [working](https://assembly.com/dawn) to make it a reality. There seems to be quite a lot of similarities with Google's Inbox, although I'd say it's a bit more ambitious and useful to people that get a lot of emails. (Google seems focussed on casual email users.)

Just got another batch of invites. First 5 replies to this comment get an invite.
@bramk Been using this alongside Mailbox. Not a huge win IMO - the swipe is opposite direction too which is maddening. The files surfacing is nice, but not daily use. The "important" box isn't enough of a win either (and I get like 200-300 emails a day so you'd think it would be).
Excited to try Inbox.

@dshan@bramk I use both too (before Inbox). You can now choose the swipes in Mailbox, so you could map them to be the same as Acompli.
