Put an AI employee to work in Gmail.
Google's email, used by many small businesses through Google Workspace. Your AI employee connects to it over Gmail's web API, works at the approval level you set, and logs every action it takes.
What an AI employee can do in Gmail
- Your inbox agent reads every new Gmail message, answers the routine ones and drafts the rest for you.
- It files each message against the right contact in your CRM.
- It tells you each morning which emails only you can answer.
An example in Gmail
A solo estate-planning attorney gets an email from someone whose father just passed and who is asking what to do about the house. The agent labels the Thread as a new matter, replies kindly with the firm's intake questions and the attorney's consultation hours, and makes clear the reply is not legal advice. When the person answers, it saves a Draft reply for the attorney with the answers summarized at the top. In the CRM, the person's record shows the email, the intake answers and the consultation request.
What stays with your people
The attorney gives the advice, sets the fee and decides whether to take the matter.
The connection
- How it connects
- Over Gmail's web API (HTTPS), or an MCP server where one exists. Its key is stored as a secret, scoped to the job, and never written into the AI employee's instructions. Set it up yourself in the Studio, or have us do it.
- What it reads and writes in Gmail
- Message, Thread, Label, Draft, Filter.
- Approval level
- Off, suggest, draft or autonomous, granted by you task by task. Outbound texts and deletions never pass draft.
- On the record
- Every call it makes to Gmail is logged with what it did and when, so a person can pick up where it left off.
