AIVA for Gmail
Your inbox,finally handled.
AIVA reads the threads that matter, drafts replies in your voice, tracks the promises buried in your email, and follows up so nothing quietly dies in your inbox. It only sends after you say so.
What AIVA can do
Concrete help with Gmail.
Read and rank the inbox
AIVA searches with full Gmail syntax (from:alex, is:unread label:urgent) and reads entire threads — headers, context, and attachments — to surface what actually needs you first.
Draft replies in your voice
It composes a reply, queues it in Messages for your review, and learns your tone over time so the drafts get closer to send-ready each round.
Track commitments
“I’ll get you the deck by Friday” becomes an open loop. AIVA remembers what you promised in email and reminds you before it goes stale.
Chase no-reply follow-ups
When a thread you care about goes quiet, AIVA notices and offers a nudge — so the ball never stays in the other court by accident.
Keep the inbox tidy
Add, remove, and list labels, mark threads read, archive, and star — the housekeeping you’d otherwise do by hand.
Example prompts
Just say it in plain language.
Triage my inbox and tell me the three emails I actually need to answer today.
Draft a warm but firm reply to the vendor pushing the deadline.
Who am I waiting on a reply from that I should nudge?
Summarize the thread with the legal team and pull out every action item.
Star anything from investors and label it “fundraise”.
Did I promise anyone anything by email this week?
Actions available
The tools AIVA actually has.
Search inbox
Any Gmail search query, scoped to labels, senders, or read state.
Read threads
Full conversation with headers and attachment awareness.
Draft reply
Composed and held in Messages for your approval.
Manage labels
Add, remove, list, archive, and star.
Mark read
Clear the noise without opening every thread.
Send
Only after you approve the draft.
Permission model
You stay in control of every consequential action.
Read-only work happens silently. Anything that changes the world waits for your approval — and destructive actions always ask prominently.
Common workflows
How people put it to work.
Morning inbox brief
A daily loop where AIVA reads overnight mail and hands you a ranked, three-line summary with suggested replies — before your first coffee.
Draft-and-approve
You ask for a reply, AIVA writes it, you skim and approve. The send goes out and the follow-up is tracked automatically.
Commitment sweep
AIVA scans recent threads for promises you made, opens loops for each, and reminds you before any of them slip.
Without your approval, AIVA won’t
No surprises.
These never happen on their own. AIVA drafts and asks; you decide.
- Send any email or reply
- Schedule a send for later
- Delete or permanently remove mail in bulk
Local-first notes
Your data, on your machine.
AIVA never sees your Google password — it receives a revocable OAuth token, stored encrypted on your Mac.
In Local mode, your inbox is read on-device and queried on demand, not bulk-uploaded anywhere.
Disconnect any time from Settings → Apps and AIVA’s access stops immediately.

Connected app
AIVA for Email
Not on Gmail? Connect any provider over SMTP/IMAP — Fastmail, Migadu, ProtonMail bridge, self-hosted — and AIVA reads, drafts, and sends with the same approval-first care. It can even run its own mailbox on your behalf.
Connected app
AIVA for Google Calendar
AIVA reads your calendar, finds the gaps, preps you for what’s next, and books the things you ask for — checking with you before it changes anything and always confirming before it deletes.
Built-in app
AIVA for Contacts
AIVA builds a deduplicated contact book from your email, calendar, Slack, and GitHub — with relationship context, identities across channels, and the history that makes “when did I last talk to Sam?” a one-line answer.
