Email AI agent — inbox assistant

Triage and drafts that use the project or family thread behind the message — not a sidecar model that only sees the last email.

Email AI that only sees the message will write a polite nothing. Replies need the project, the last call, and whether this is Work or Family.

The Email agent works in the Maicos inbox (Email Client, Gmail, IMAP/SMTP) with the same staff that already sit in chat and calendar. It drafts; you send, until you explicitly automate a class of mail.

Inbox

Accounts together

Maicos, Gmail, IMAP in one place

Context

Not just the thread

Project files and chat when it is Work mail

Draft

You still send

Collaborative by default

Traditional tools

Gmail Smart Reply plus ChatGPT with a pasted thread and no project files.

With Maicos

One inbox in the workspace Work and Family AI Staff already use.

What this agent does

Grounded drafts and triage. Sending is still a decision.

Unified inbox with areas

Work and personal accounts can live together, but triage should still respect area: a school thread is not a client P1 just because it arrived at 8am.

Drafts with background

“Reply to the contract email” uses the PDF and notes in the project, not a tone slider on an empty prompt.

Triage that names the next object

The useful output is often “this is a task,” “this is a calendar event,” or “this can wait” — not a vanity priority score.

Handoff into Maicos

Turn a thread into a Work task or a Family reminder without forwarding it to another AI.

How the Email agent should work

Connect real accounts. Keep send under your finger until a class of mail is boring.

1

Connect the accounts you actually read

Maicos Email Client, Gmail OAuth, or IMAP/SMTP. An agent cannot triage mail it cannot see.

2

Triage first, write second

Ask what needs a human this morning. Then draft the two that matter, in the right area.

3

Keep sending collaborative

Especially anything contractual, medical, or family-sensitive. Appflows can send later for narrow, trusted templates.

4

File the work

If it became a project, it should become a task. The inbox is not the system of record.

Worked example: contract follow-up

The email is short. The contract is a PDF in the project.

  1. 1

    Mail arrives in the unified inbox

    Client asks if clause 4 is acceptable.

  2. 2

    You ask in context

    “Draft a reply using the Project Alpha contract notes.”

  3. 3

    The draft cites the project

    Because Email AI Staff can see the taskspace, not because you pasted 20 pages into a chatbot.

  4. 4

    You send

    Or you edit. Nothing left the building on its own.

That is the product: the inbox and the project are the same world.

Ask with the thread, get the project

Name the account or the project if it is ambiguous. “Draft a follow-up” should not guess between a client and a school thread.

"Draft a follow-up to yesterday’s client email using the Project Alpha notes"

Tools this agent uses in Maicos

The same apps you already work in — not a second chatbot that needs uploads.

What this agent does not do

Useful agents have a job description. These limits keep this page honest — and help you pick a different agent when you need one.

Real-world use cases

How people use this every day.

Morning sweep

What needs a human vs what can be a draft vs what is noise — split by Work vs Family if both accounts are connected.

Contract thread

Reply using the uploaded PDF already in the task, then file remaining work as tasks.

School or household mail

Keep it out of Work focus; Family AI Staff may own the follow-up task.

Trusted templates later

Once a reply pattern is boring, an appflow can send. Until then, drafts only.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI email assistant in Maicos?

The Email agent triages and drafts inside your Maicos inbox using chat, files, and calendar from the relevant area. It is not a standalone email GPT.

Which accounts work?

Maicos Email Client, Gmail (OAuth), and IMAP/SMTP for other providers.

Will it send mail without me?

Not unless you enable a specific autonomous path or appflow. Default is drafts you approve.

How is this different from the Email product page?

The product page explains the inbox. This page is the role: an agent whose job is triage and grounded replies.

Can it handle two jobs’ worth of mail?

It can connect multiple accounts. Area routing (Work vs Family) is how you keep them from becoming one panic list.
