What can an AI teammate do with Gmail?

A Gmail AI teammate can triage your inbox, summarize important threads, draft replies to common inquiries, search for messages by sender or keyword, send emails, and generate weekly email activity reports, all automatically on a schedule or on demand. Write actions like sending require your approval.

Does my AI teammate read all my emails?

No. Your teammate only reads emails when running a task that requires it. All read operations are logged, and write actions like sending emails require your explicit approval.

Can I limit which emails my teammate can access?

Yes. You can scope tasks to specific labels, senders, or date ranges in the task instructions. The teammate only searches within the parameters you define.

Is my email data stored?

Email content is processed during task execution but not permanently stored. Only task outputs (summaries, reports) are saved to your run history.

How is a Gmail AI teammate different from Gmail filters or rules?

Gmail filters sort emails automatically but can't reason, summarize, or act across tools. An AI teammate understands context: it reads threads, decides what matters, drafts replies in your voice, and routes information to Slack, Notion, or wherever it needs to go.
