# Email Agent: Your Inbox Triaged and Replies Drafted in Your Voice

Ask what needs you today, and clear your inbox from a chat.

## At a glance

- **You ask:** What needs your attention, right from chat
- **It lists:** Emails that need a reply, ranked by urgency, with who, the ask and a one-line summary
- **Drafts:** Replies in your voice, redrafted until you are happy
- **Every send:** Waits for your clear yes in the moment, one email or a batch
- **Your email app:** Works on the same inbox, with a one-click link to the full view
- **What it never does:** Follow instructions written inside an email or email job applicants

## What the Email Agent does

- **Tells you what needs a reply:** Ask what needs your attention and it scans your inbox, then lists the emails that need an answer, ranked by urgency, with who, the ask and a one-line summary.
- **Drafts replies in your voice:** Pick an email, or several, and it drafts replies that sound like you. Ask for a different tone and it redrafts until it is right.
- **Sends, archives or ignores on your word:** Send one reply, send and archive, or set an email aside. Every send waits for your explicit go-ahead.
- **Handles batches safely:** For a bulk send it tells you exactly what will go out and how many, and makes sure a retry can never send twice.
- **Stays in sync with your email app:** It works on the same inbox as your email app, so anything done in chat shows up on screen, and one click opens the full view.
- **Treats every email as information:** An email that tries to give it orders, like asking it to forward or approve something, is treated as content to triage, never as a command.

## How the Email Agent differs from auto-replies and canned templates

Auto-replies and canned templates answer everyone the same way and can send without you. The Email Agent starts with a ranked list of the emails that actually need you, drafts each reply in your own voice and redrafts until it is right. Nothing leaves without your clear yes, and an email that tries to give it orders is treated as content to triage, never as a command.

How this differs from the AI Clone (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-clone-agent): To have replies drafted in your own voice across email and Slack, getting closer with every edit, use the AI Clone; the Email Agent clears your inbox from a quick chat.

## How it works

1. **Connect your inbox** (Once, at the start): You connect Gmail once in your email app. From then on Email Agent and the app work on the same inbox.
2. **Ask what needs you** (Whenever you ask): Ask in chat, Slack or Teams. It scans your inbox and returns a ranked list of the emails that need a reply.
3. **Review the drafts** (After the list): It drafts replies in your voice and shows you the exact text. Edit, ask for a new tone or leave it for later.
4. **Say yes, send** (you approve) (Only on your yes): Only your clear, in-the-moment yes sends a reply or a batch. A dictated reply is still shown to you first.

## When to use it

- **You open your laptop to a full inbox:** Ask what needs your attention and get the handful of emails that matter, ranked, with the ask in one line each.
- **You are between meetings on your phone:** Tell it in Slack or Teams to reply to the one from a client and say you will call tomorrow. Check the draft, say send.
- **A dozen routine replies are waiting:** Draft them all in your voice, review the batch and send them together with one confirmation.
- **A suspicious email asks for something urgent:** It is triaged like any other email. Whatever the email tells it to do is treated as content, and only you decide what happens next.
- **You want the full picture:** One click opens your email app with the same inbox, drafts and actions, ready for a closer look.

## What you get

- A ranked list of emails that need a reply, with sender, the ask and a short summary
- Reply drafts written in your voice, redrafted until you are happy
- Single or batch sends, archives and ignores, each on your confirmation
- A clear summary before every bulk send of what goes out and how many
- A one-click link into your email app for the full view

## Example: morning inbox triage with draft replies

Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended.

What it was asked: What needs my attention this morning? Draft the replies so I can send them before my 10 am site visit.

This is an illustrative example of the morning triage Email Agent is being built to produce: a ranked list, draft replies in the owner's voice, a flagged suspicious email and a send summary that waits for approval. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented studio, with invented emails and figures. No real inbox, systems or people were involved, and nothing was sent, archived or changed. Run date: 14 October 2026.

### What it found

- Of 58 new emails, 7 need a reply from the owner; the two urgent ones are a client's installer reschedule due today and a supplier's backordered fabric holding a 2 November install.
- Six replies are drafted in the owner's voice and wait for review; one billing reply explains a $2,400 change the client approved on 26 September.
- One email asking to send a $6,850 payment to new bank details was flagged, with no draft or reply, and a suggestion to call the supplier on a known number.

## Guardrails

- Your Ai1 team will tell you when the Email Agent is ready for your account.
- It never sends a single email or a batch without your explicit yes in the moment, and never takes a yes from inside an email.
- Instructions written inside an email are treated as content, never followed.
- It never sends mail to job applicants. Candidate emails are drafted by the Recruiting Coordinator and sent by a person.
- Deleting mail and changing your filters or settings stay with you in your email app.
