Google (Gmail and Calendar)
Connect your Google account and Random reads your mail and calendar. Replies become drafts in your Gmail Drafts folder, and you send them.
- Sorted for you
New mail is sorted. What needs your reply sits under "Waiting on you", and a reply is already drafted.
- A draft that learns your voice
Open the mail: the reply is drafted in the style Random learns from you. Edit it here, speak to change it, or ask for a new one.
- You send it
The reply waits in the Drafts of your own mailbox. You send it from there; Random never sends from your mailbox.
What you can ask
- What did Lena ask about the rollout? Random reads the thread and answers in Chat.
- Draft a reply to Vltava about the invoice. Random writes it in Chat; you check it and save it to your Drafts.
- Find the contract Tomas sent last week. Random searches your mail and can read the attachment.
What it reads
- Your recent mail, to sort it, draft replies and spot the promises in what you send.
- Your calendar, for your daily brief, meeting prep, scheduling and your working hours.
- What Random keeps from this is far less than what it reads. See What Random reads and keeps.
What it may write
- Reply drafts in your Gmail Drafts folder. Open one with Finish in your mailbox, edit it, and send it yourself.
- Calendar events, when you ask: create, move, edit or cancel. Each one waits on an approval card. If a change would email your guests, the card says so first.
Random never sends an email from your mailbox. Approving a draft in Random does not send it either.
Connect and disconnect
- Open Connections
On the Google card, press Connect.
- Sign in with Google
Google lists the access being asked for. It names our mail connection provider, which runs in Ireland. That is expected.
- Let it read
New mail is sorted as it arrives. Your first brief is ready the next morning.
To stop, disconnect one inbox and keep the others, or press Disconnect all on the card of your main inbox. You can also remove the access in your Google account settings.
Where your data is
Your mail and calendar stay with Google, in the EU or the US, under your own contract with Google. The connection runs through our mail connection provider in Ireland (EU), whose backups may be in the US, Canada, Australia and Brazil, covered by Standard Contractual Clauses. What Random keeps is stored in the EU. More in Your data and the EU and the sub-processor register.
