What you can do
- Inbox Reading — Read full threads, extract important updates, or summarize chains spanning massive email chains completely headless
- Searching & Filtering — Run advanced queries (like 'from:boss@company.com is:unread') to zero in on the messages that matter right now
- Mail Composition — Draft, formulate, and definitively send responsive emails directly into ongoing threads naturally
- Label Management — Categorize, label, organize and modify read/unread states of specific incoming messages to keep Inbox Zero
