Productivity update
Email Assistant in Omni AI Companion
Email Assistant gives you a calmer way into a crowded inbox by helping you think through a message before you send it. Use it to clarify purpose, audience, tone, and the one action you want the reader to take.
What changed
Start with intent
Describe the situation and desired outcome, then shape a draft around the information the recipient actually needs.
Review before sending
Treat the draft as a collaborator’s suggestion: check names, facts, attachments, promises, and tone before anything leaves your hands.
Why this feature matters
Email feels difficult when a simple request carries too much emotional or organizational weight. Separating the intent from the wording helps you write directly without losing warmth or necessary context.
It is also useful for editing. A long update can become a clear summary, while a tense message can be reviewed for assumptions and a more constructive next step.
Feature examples and use cases
- A concise update: A manager turns project notes into a short status email with the decision needed from a teammate.
- A difficult request: A renter drafts a respectful maintenance request that names the issue, timing, and requested response.
- A warmer follow-up: A consultant revises a post-meeting message so appreciation and next steps are both clear.
How to use it
- Open Email Assistant: Use Side menu → Productivity → Email Assistant and explain the recipient, context, and desired outcome.
- Choose the shape: Ask for a draft, rewrite, subject suggestion, or tone adjustment that matches the situation.
- Proof it yourself: Verify every factual detail and recipient-facing promise before copying or sending any result.
Tips for a better first try
- Lead with the action or decision needed.
- Say what tone would be inappropriate as well as what you want.
- Keep sensitive details out unless they are necessary.
Limitations and things to know
- The assistant cannot know your relationship or intent unless you explain it.
- You are responsible for privacy, accuracy, recipients, and the final send.
Availability
Use Side menu → Productivity → Email Assistant and provide the context or draft you want to shape; review the result yourself before sending. Availability and controls can vary by account, platform, and current app version, as shown in Omni.
Frequently asked questions
Does it send messages automatically?
No. Review and send messages yourself using the controls available in your email workflow.
Can it rewrite an existing draft?
Yes, provide the draft and the change you want, then review the result carefully.
Can it guarantee the right tone?
No. Tone depends on context; describe the relationship and read the final message as the recipient might.
