Connect Gmail so Littlebird can find open loops, work across your inboxes, and help you draft or send a grounded reply.
Connect Gmail to find messages, summarize threads, surface conversations that need a reply, and draft email with the surrounding context in view. Littlebird can send email on your behalf, so review the requested permissions when you connect and check a message before you send it.

Four ways to use Gmail with Littlebird
Once you’re connected, you can work with email in natural language from Littlebird Chat. Here are four useful places to start.
Use case 1: Catch up on what came in
Ask Littlebird for a plain-language summary of recent email when you need the important threads without reading the inbox in order.
Use case 2: Find a specific email or thread
You know the email exists, you just can’t find it. Instead of guessing at search terms in Gmail, describe what you’re looking for in plain language and let Littlebird track it down.
Use case 3: Prepare for meetings and send follow-ups
Pull email context into your meeting prep or follow-up workflows. Combine Gmail with Littlebird’s other capabilities to walk into calls fully prepared, and close the loop after.
Use case 4: Get a strategic view of your inbox
Use Littlebird to cut through inbox noise and identify what actually needs your attention. Great for busy mornings or end-of-week reviews.
Draft and send without leaving Littlebird
Ask Littlebird to write an email and the draft appears in Chat as a card showing the sender, recipient, and subject.
- Edit before it goes. Select Edit to change the subject or the body. Your changes are saved to the draft.
- Send from the card. Select Send and Littlebird sends it through your connected Gmail account.
- Finish in Gmail instead. Select Open in Email to open the draft in Gmail and send it yourself.
