FAQ

Questions about Gmail + OpenAI.

How do I have GPT draft Gmail replies?

Gmail Email Received → OpenAI Chat with "draft a reply matching the user's style based on these past replies (RAG)" → Gmail Create Draft. The draft sits in your drafts folder; you review and hit send.

Can GPT auto-label and route Gmail?

Yes. Classify into "Customer", "Internal", "Newsletter", "Notification", "Sales pitch" with GPT → Gmail Modify Labels to apply. Combine with Gmail filters to auto-archive low-value labels.

How does GPT summarize a long Gmail thread?

Gmail Get Thread → concatenate the bodies → OpenAI Chat with "5-bullet chronological summary + open questions" → post the summary as a Slack message or save to Notion for later reference.

Can GPT extract action items from emails?

Yes. Use response_format=json_schema with shape { actions: [{owner, action, due}] }. For each, create a Todoist or Asana task with the owner as assignee. Inbox → task list in one workflow.

How do I prevent GPT from auto-sending — keep it in draft only?

Use Gmail Create Draft instead of Send Email. The reply sits in Drafts until you open Gmail and hit send. Recommended for any AI-drafted external communication.

Which GPT model for Gmail automation?

gpt-4o-mini for triage and classification (cheap, fast). gpt-4o for nuanced reply drafting and summarization (the default). Cap max_tokens. Track per-email cost via the usage field.
