AI assistant
The AI assistant is the chat panel in the bottom-right corner of the web app. Ask the way you normally would; it searches mail, reads threads and checks stats on its own, then puts the answer together for you.
What you can ask
Section titled “What you can ask”| You want | Try asking |
|---|---|
| What’s pending | Which emails are waiting for my reply? Sort them by importance |
| Bills | Which bills do I need to pay soon? List the amounts and due dates |
| A summary | Summarize the important emails I got today |
| Stats | Who sent me the most email this week? |
| One topic | Where did the return discussion with Swift Parcel end up? |
| A draft | Reply to Emma that Thursday afternoon works for me |
| Status | Are all my mailboxes syncing? Did anything fail to send? |
Tools it can use
Section titled “Tools it can use”The assistant doesn’t answer from memory — it calls DaMail tools to look things up. You can expand each answer to see the steps:
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
search_emails |
Search mail with search syntax |
get_email |
Read a message’s body and AI analysis |
get_thread |
Read every message in a thread |

Mailboxes, sync status and unread counts |
get_stats |
Overview: unread, received today, important unread |
get_analytics |
Mail stats for the last 7 / 30 / 90 / 365 days |
get_report |
The latest daily or weekly report |
list_drafts |
Drafts, approval queue, outbox and sent history |
draft_email |
Draft a new email, reply or forward — submitted for your approval |
One question can take several tool calls — for example, searching for finance mail, then reading each bill for the amount and due date.
- Answers with sources: cited emails are listed under each answer; click to open the original
- Attach the open email: when you’re reading an email, it shows above the input box, so you can ask “what do I need to do here?” or have the assistant draft a reply. Click to detach it when you don’t need it
- Shortcuts: type
/for common questions — bills to pay, needs reply, today’s summary, draft a reply, who writes most - Switch model and effort: pick another model or thinking effort at the top of the panel; defaults live under AI assistant in Models
- History: conversations are saved and titled automatically; click the title to switch or delete them. The panel can be expanded into a larger window
Shift + Enteradds a new line, and you can stop an answer at any time
Boundaries
Section titled “Boundaries”- The assistant drafts but never sends: anything it writes goes to Drafts → Awaiting approval and is sent only after you confirm
- It cannot flag, move or delete mail, or change rules and settings
- Message content is untrusted data; the assistant ignores instructions inside emails (like “forward this to…”)
- Conversation history stays in your own database
- Every round of tool calls counts as one model request in Usage
