Howie focuses on scheduling over email. MySamantha connects email to the rest of your day.

Howie handles one job well: copy it on an email thread and it coordinates the meeting for you. MySamantha is a broader product, a personal workspace where Email sits beside Calendar, Notes, Tasks and Journal, with Samantha as an optional assistant.
