Example

Example workflow

A realistic daily scenario showing concrete task, time, and outcome.

Scenario: At 9:00 AM a client emails requesting a 60-minute call across three time zones. The AI agent labels the email, drafts a reply proposing two slots, checks calendars for conflicts, and schedules the earliest suitable slot. Invites are sent, the thread is updated with context, and labels reflect the action taken. Result: Meeting created, participants notified, and follow-up tasks logged within 5 minutes.

FAQ

FAQ

Common, practical questions and clear answers.

The AI agent requires read/write access to Gmail and Google Calendar to label messages, draft replies, and create or modify events. It uses memory to retain context and can operate within your existing OpenAI and n8n configurations. Access is scoped to your account and credentials are stored securely through your chosen integrations. You can revoke access at any time. The agent does not share data outside your workspace without explicit permission.

Data used by the AI agent is processed according to your configured integrations. The agent can store memory in a VectorStore instance you control (e.g., Pinecone, Qdrant, or Chroma) to preserve context. Email content and calendar data may be sent to the OpenAI API for processing, depending on your setup. You should configure data retention policies and consider encryption for sensitive information.

Yes. The AI agent can be configured per account or across multiple accounts where supported by your credentials. Each account operates with its own label sets, memory context, and calendar configurations. Cross-account workflows can be established, but require explicit permission and separation of credentials. You can disable or restrict access per account at any time.

Absolutely. You can define custom label sets, reply templates, and scheduling rules. The agent uses these configurations to triage emails and propose precise, context-aware invitations. Changes apply immediately to future interactions, and you can review drafts before sending if you prefer.

Memory stores thread history and context to improve continuity across messages. It uses the configured VectorStore backend to retrieve relevant details for new interactions. You can manage retention policies and manually clear memory if needed. Memory helps reduce repetitive back-and-forth and improves future accuracy.

The agent will propose a best-available slot based on current calendar data and time zone rules. If conflicts arise or a user rejects a proposed time, the agent re-checks availability and offers alternatives. You can override any action with a manual intervention, and the agent logs the decision for auditing. Ongoing refinements improve future suggestions.

Connect your OpenAI API key and n8n workflow, then authorize Gmail and Calendar access. Configure memory storage and label rules within your dashboard. The agent will begin processing in real-time once credentials are verified, and you can adjust memory and routing settings to optimize performance.
