Your inbox has a second pair of hands.
Cedric searches your mail, reads the whole thread, and drafts the reply in your team's voice. Every send is a preview you approve first.
$50 in free credits when you sign up. No card needed.
- Most inbox time is not writing, it is finding: the thread, the promise made in it, the follow-up that never went out.
- Cedric searches your mail and reads whole threads, so answers arrive with the receipts attached, not a guess.
- Replies are drafted in your voice and wait as previews. Nothing reaches a recipient without your yes.
- The Gmail connection is one click, read-only until you say otherwise, and revocable at any time.
- Chasing, recapping, and the weekly follow-up sweep become scheduled jobs instead of memory tests.
What can a Gmail AI assistant actually do?
A Gmail AI assistant, the way Cedric does it, is not an autocomplete bar inside your compose window. It is an AI employee that sits in your team's chat, holds a connection to your mail, and works it on request: mention Cedric in Slack, in plain words, and it searches the mail, reads the whole thread including the part everyone forgot, and comes back with the answer or the draft.
That covers most of what the inbox actually costs you. What did we promise this customer? Which of last week's threads never got an answer? Who still owes us a reply? These are reading jobs, and reading is what Cedric does tirelessly: across the thread, in context, with the specific dates and commitments pulled out rather than paraphrased from memory.
Writing is the second half. Cedric drafts replies from what the thread actually says, in the voice your team writes in, and the draft waits for you. Sending is a separate, deliberate act: every send is a preview you approve first, so the assistant speeds the inbox up without ever speaking for you unasked.
In the thread
The promise, found and kept.

@Cedric what did we promise Acme on pricing? It's somewhere in a thread with their CFO from a few weeks back.
CedricAPP9:15 AM
Found it: a thread with dana@acme.com from March 14. You offered the annual plan at 20 percent off if they sign before quarter end, and promised a written recap as a follow-up. The recap never went out. I have drafted it: the offer, the deadline, and a line asking whether they need anything else to decide.
Finds the thread
Searches your mail and reads whole threads, so the answer cites what was actually written, with dates.
Drafts the reply
In your team's voice, from the thread's real content, waiting in drafts instead of in your head.
Sends on a yes
Every send is a preview you approve first. The inbox gets faster; it never speaks for you unasked.
Connect Gmail in a minute
No setup project, no workflow builder, no field mapping. The flow is the same for every tool Cedric connects to.
- 01
Install Cedric where your team talks
One click. It joins your Slack like any other member, and everyone shares the same Cedric.
- 02
Connect Gmail from the dashboard
Open the Integrations page and sign in with Gmail on its own screen. Cedric never sees or stores your password, and you can revoke the connection in one click at any time.
A fresh connection can look but not touch: read-only until you say otherwise.
- 03
Ask in plain words
Back in the channel, try it: "what's still unanswered in my inbox from this week?". You describe the outcome; Cedric picks the Gmail actions the ask needs. There is nothing to configure.
Connect for the whole workspace so the team shares it, or keep the connection personal. Two accounts are fine too; each gets a short name.
- 04
Let it become routine
Schedule the recurring version of the ask, and let Cedric fold Gmail into bigger jobs that cross your other tools. Anything that would leave your workspace still comes back as a preview to approve first.
Better in company
Email rarely travels alone. A reply that proposes times reads better when Cedric has already checked Google Calendar for slots that actually work, and a customer thread is worth more when the exchange lands against the deal in HubSpot instead of evaporating in the archive.
That is the point of one assistant holding several connections: you ask for the outcome, and Cedric crosses the tools the outcome needs.
Where the limits are
Cedric works your mail; it does not run your mailbox. What counts as urgent, which threads deserve a person's own words, and when silence is the right reply stay your calls. It asks rather than guesses.
Cedric sees what the Gmail connection grants and nothing more. Access is scoped, logged, and revocable from the dashboard, effective immediately.
Nothing sends itself. An email, a post, a change to a record: anything with consequences comes back as a preview for a human yes. That is the design, not a beta caveat.
FAQ
Yes, natively. Gmail is one of the apps Cedric knows deeply, with a built-in playbook: connect it once from the dashboard and ask in plain words, with no workflow to build and no fields to map. It sits alongside 3,200+ other connectable apps.
No. Drafting and sending are separate acts: every send comes back as a preview, and it goes out only when a person approves it. That holds at 3pm and at 3am.
Connect the account and give it a short name; two inboxes are no problem. Each connection is scoped and named separately, so 'check sales' and 'check hello' stay unambiguous.
From the threads it reads and the edits you make to its drafts. Corrections stick in the workspace memory, so a fix one person makes improves everyone's drafts, not just theirs.
Connect it for the whole workspace and everyone shares it, with one person authorising once. A connection you would rather not share, a personal inbox for instance, can stay personal to you.
Yes, and it starts that way: a fresh connection can look but not touch until you say otherwise. Even with write access granted, anything that changes or sends waits for an approval.
Every workspace starts with $50 in credits, free, no card. Each task consumes credits in proportion to the work involved. See pricing for the plans.
