What email agents do

Most email agents connect to Gmail or Outlook and do some of the following: summarise what came in, flag what needs an answer, draft replies in your style and, if you allow it, send them. Workflow tools go further and plug email into other systems, for example drafting a reply from a CRM record.

What each agent does for this task

Only agents whose own documentation describes this use are listed. Checked Oct 6, 2026.

Safe defaults

  • Start with drafts only. Let the agent write, and send yourself, until you trust it.
  • Check what access you grant. Reading and sending mail on your behalf is broad access to your account.
  • Watch for instructions inside emails. An agent that reads incoming mail can be misled by text written to manipulate it, so keep a human approval step for anything it sends or changes.
