Inbox Advisor is the inbox-native AI that verifies any sender in seconds and explains why — in plain language. Users decide with confidence, the SOC sees only what matters, and every report becomes a teaching moment instead of a ticket.
A 60-second look at Inbox Advisor inside Outlook.
When a user clicks Inbox Advisor, the platform answers the questions an analyst would ask first — faster, every time, with the reasoning attached.
Every Inbox Advisor verdict — safe or malicious — answers the same three plain-language questions. Sources are woven directly into the reasoning so users can defend the next decision the same way the analyst would.
Disagree with a verdict? Appeal it. The form prompts on the things humans actually notice — tone, urgency, requests for credentials — so the SOC starts the investigation already informed.
The analysis is identical on Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. The interface differs because Google’s add-on framework is more restrictive — we recommend email-reply delivery on Gmail and either mode on Outlook.
Full plugin-panel verdict alongside the email or email-reply delivery. Quarantine timing fully configurable. Loading polish and visual fidelity at parity with native Outlook.
Available on AppSourceEmail-reply verdicts recommended — persistent record per email, no view-dependence. Identical TRACE reasoning underneath; full backend analysis even when the panel times out.
Native add-onAvailable now as StrongestLayer AI Advisor on Microsoft AppSource. Existing AI Advisor installations carry over — no reinstall needed.
View on Microsoft AppSource →Most reporting tools end at “nothing found, move on.” Inbox Advisor uses every verdict — safe or malicious — to make your users smarter.
Every user-reported email gets a plain-language verdict explaining who sent it, whether the org has interacted with them before, and whether the sender’s organization is legitimate. Safe verdicts stay in the inbox with the reasoning attached — users build judgment rather than escalating every ambiguous email. Only confirmed malicious mail and disputed verdicts reach the SOC, typically a ~90% reduction in “is this safe?” tickets.
They appeal. The form prompts on the things humans actually notice — tone, urgency, requests for credentials — and accepts free-text detail. The SOC starts any investigation from an informed place rather than square one.
Email reply is the default and recommended setting. It produces a persistent per-email record, doesn’t disconnect if the user navigates away, and is the only mode we recommend for Gmail. Outlook customers can choose either mode based on whether their team prefers in-line review or a record-keeping audit trail.
After Analysis is the default — only confirmed malicious mail leaves the inbox. Safe verdicts stay with the reasoning, preserving the micro-training benefit and avoiding false-positive overhead. Immediately on Report (coming soon) is stricter and removes every reported email regardless of outcome — suited to organizations with policy mandates.
No. Inbox Advisor is the same product with a new name, rebuilt for better stability, a cleaner interface, and a smoother experience on both Outlook and Gmail. Existing installations carry over.
