Lucy & Email — Connect Gmail or Outlook and Manage Email by Chat
Why Connect Email to Lucy?
Once your email is connected, Lucy can read your inbox, draft replies, and send emails — all from a chat conversation. No more switching between tabs. You describe what you want; Lucy handles the words.
Connecting Gmail
- Open Lucy (bottom-left chat bubble).
- Click your profile icon → Lucy Settings → Integrations.
- Click Connect Gmail.
- A Google sign-in popup appears — choose the account you want to connect and grant the required permissions.
- Done. Lucy now has access to your Gmail inbox.

Connecting Outlook

- Click Connect Outlook.
- Sign in with your Microsoft account and grant calendar and email permissions.
- Done.
What You Can Ask Lucy to Do With Email
- Check inbox: “Check my email” or “Any important emails today?”
- Read a specific email: “Read the latest email from David.”
- Draft a reply: “Draft a reply to Sarah’s email about the budget — say we’ll have the numbers ready by Thursday.”
- Send an email: “Send an email to the whole team: the all-hands is moved to 3pm Friday.”
- Create a task from an email: “The email from John mentions a deadline — create a task for it.”
- Mark as read: “Mark all emails from the newsletter list as read.”
Privacy and Security
Lucy only reads emails during an active conversation — she doesn’t store your email content. Each email action is confirmed with you before Lucy sends anything.
Disconnecting Your Email
Go to Lucy Settings → Integrations → click Disconnect next to your email provider. Lucy will immediately lose access to your inbox.
Tip: Ask Lucy “Summarize my unread emails” at the start of your day for a 30-second inbox digest instead of reading each email individually.
