Personally I won't do that as LLM's way of judging an unimportant email vs my judgement is different - we are still working on evolving that but again email is so different for different people that it will need a lot of learning.
But you can say remove all the emails which have unsubscribe text and it will do that in the batch of 20-100 (based on the app's rate limit at that time)

Sure, the data stored are (User's relation to the sender) + tone + way of writing.
None of the email's actual content is/will be stored (Goes against gmail's compliance)

Means April will not send emails even if you dictate the email and ask it to send it. In safe mode, it will not have access to tool calls which are related to send email, move to trash.

Yeah, It does. We mentioned only few of the things in the demo or else it would have been very long. Apart from hard delete, create /edit labels - all operations can be done through April.
Create/edit/delete draft are very common use cases as people would like to read before sending.

Point taken - Safe mode goes out this week.

You can - we have seen cases where people have deleted 1600 emails in one voice session. But as the pagination happens - it will be in batches, read/delete everything. We have to limit gmail's rate limits

That happens now - before Send/Delete it will ask for confirmation.

Not as of now.

That would be supercool - but not the focus point right now. Though I totally see myself using it.

Sorry for the bad experience. It is because of the sudden traffic. Looking at it.

Yes Yes! The MCP hackathon was our way in. Thank you, really appreciate the support.

I think the car dent story originally came from - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45008239. As I clarified there - the dent happened before the April demo, during hackathon stress while taking out the car from parking.
But totally valid criticism about cognitive load - better example could be dog walking, cooking or screen free time.

Valid concern - April does not write emails for you unless you specifically ask for it. Users usually dictate what they want to reply.
But do you think a 'safe mode' - where April does only non destructive operation like read/summarize/draft/move emails to a folder would help you build trust?
It's in our pipeline - we can prioritize it to mitigate that fear.
