Instead of jumping between browser tabs to check who's assigned to what, you can ask your agent to find specific threads or summarize recent messages. It handles the heavy lifting of navigating shared inboxes, allowing you to move through conversations, tag contacts, and organize your workspace using natural language. You can have your agent draft replies based on previous context and send them off, or use it to keep the team updated with internal comments and status changes. Because it connects to your existing Missive setup, it keeps your communication centralized and accessible. Finding this in the Vinkius catalog makes it easy to plug into your existing workflow so you can spend less time clicking through folders and more time actually responding to your customers. It's built for teams who need to stay on top of high-volume communication without the friction of manual sorting. By making your shared inbox searchable and actionable, your agent can help you triage tickets, update contact details, and maintain a clear record of team decisions without you having to leave your primary workspace. It effectively removes the wall between your team's communication tools and your AI's capabilities. ## Tools ### create_contact Add a new person to your shared or private contact book.
