Why Gmail + dassi
Gmail is already where the work happens. dassi adds the missing layer: it can read what’s on the page and then take actions (draft, classify, fill, log, summarize) without you rebuilding context in a chat box.
What to automate in Gmail
- Inbox triage labels + batch actions: Classify emails by intent (urgent, FYI, newsletter) and execute safe batch actions like archive/label.
- Contextual reply drafting: Draft replies using the full conversation, attachments you reference, and your preferred tone.
- One-click “Add to Calendar” from email text: Extract time/location from free text and create a pre-filled calendar event.
Quick start
- Open Gmail in Chrome.
- Open the dassi sidebar.
- Start with a safe workflow: summarize → propose → draft → review → act.
Prompt recipes (copy/paste)
- “Classify this inbox: needs reply today vs FYI vs newsletters.” (from Email Triage With Batch Actions)
- “Archive all newsletters and keep anything from my boss.” (from Email Triage With Batch Actions)
- “Turn this into a calendar invite for Thursday 3pm at Blue Bottle.” (from “Add to Calendar” Button Inside Any Email)
- “Add a 25-minute buffer and include the Zoom link if present.” (from “Add to Calendar” Button Inside Any Email)
- “In Gmail, label these threads (urgent / waiting / FYI) and propose batch actions.”
- “Draft a reply that references the full thread and ends with 2 concrete next steps.”
- “Turn scheduling text in this email into a calendar event — ask me to confirm time zone.”
Safety checklist
- Tell dassi: “Never submit/send without confirmation.”
- If the page contains sensitive data, ask for redaction or aggregated outputs (totals-only, no PII).
- Prefer reversible actions first (drafting, labeling, notes) before destructive ones.
