The assistant answers questions from your own mail with cited sources, drafts replies, and acts on the inbox after you confirm. It never sends anything. Open it with Cmd+K (Ctrl+K on Windows) on the Assistant tab, or from the Assistant tab of Lens, the panel beside an open thread.
Reading and finding
- Catch up on a thread: what it is about, who is on it, whether there is a deadline, why it is ranked high.
- Find conversations by meaning or filter: what came in today, this week's threads from a company, a teammate's assignments, what is unread in an inbox, what you sent yesterday.
- Triage: what needs you, what is overdue, what you promised, what can wait.
- People: who someone is, who at a company you know, how a relationship has changed over time. Answers come from the memory layer, the record Sektra keeps per client of commitments, open questions and history.
- Numbers: how fast the team replied last week, how many credits are left, what plan you are on.
Acting
Assign, tag, star, archive, mark unread, snooze and add a note run at once with an Undo. Trash, anything across several conversations, a note that mentions a teammate, and a snooze longer than a week show a confirmation card first. Every write goes through the same path a click does, so teammates see it live and the mailbox stays in sync.
Drafting
Ask for a reply and the assistant writes one from the thread and the relationship. Open in composer puts it in the reply box for you to edit; Save as draft stores it. It can also fill one of your reply templates. On WhatsApp it says when the 24-hour window is closed instead of drafting a free reply.
Reminders, watches and jobs
Action items are the obligations you hand the assistant, such as a reminder for Monday 9am or a follow-up in three days unless they reply. An archive on Friday or a task to chase legal counts too. Watches are standing instructions to tell you when something happens, such as a client going quiet for a set number of days. A job runs one action across many threads, such as drafting replies for your priority list, with the count confirmed first. Details in How watches and reminders work.
Calendar
With a calendar connected, ask what is on today, find free times, or create, move, delete and answer meetings. Each change is confirmed before it is made and can be undone for a few seconds.
What it will not do
- Send an email or a WhatsApp message. A person always sends.
- Act without telling you. Every change shows as a card with Undo, or asks first.
- Read inboxes you cannot open. It sees what you see.
- Spend credits in the background. Scheduled reviews that repeat are limited to work that uses no credits.
