AI for your inbox: connect Claude to Gmail and get a morning brief

Inbox sorted and half-drafted before your first coffee

What you walk away with

Once installed: Claude is connected to your real Gmail inbox — no forwarding, no copy-paste; it goes in, searches and reads on its own. One sentence every morning and the whole board comes up: who's waiting on money, who's waiting on your answer — with the most urgent reply already drafted for you. It reads your real inbox and tells you things you didn't know. Sending is always yours to confirm.
