What Can You Do With This Automation?

Let a reasoning agent run your inbox instead of brittle filters and keyword rules:

  • Smart classification: The agent reads each message and understands intent, so it sorts by meaning rather than rigid keyword matches.

  • Next-step decisions: It decides whether to reply, escalate, archive, or create a task, using context and memory of past threads.

  • Drafted responses: For replies, it writes an on-brand draft you can approve in seconds instead of starting from a blank message.

  • Connected execution: With 100+ integrations, it can log follow-ups, notify a teammate, or update a project automatically.
