An AI assistant that actually reads your inbox The reason your inbox never feels handled is that "handling email" and "drafting email" are two different jobs, and almost every AI email tool only does the second one. Drafting is the part models are good at. You point one at a thread, it produces a plausible reply, you skim it, tweak a word, and hit send. That saves you maybe ninety seconds. Useful, but it is not the thing that eats your Tuesday. What eats your Tuesday is the reading. It is figuring out which of the 60 unread messages actually need you, remembering that the vendor in message 12 already missed a deadline you flagged two weeks ago, noticing that the "quick call?" from a client is the third time they have asked, and holding all of that in your head while you decide what matters. That is the work. A draft box does not do it. So when I say email is handled in Niyra, I mean the reading, the connecting, and the follow-through, not just the typing. What "reading your inbox" has to mean If I am going to be useful with your email, I have to actually understand it in context, not treat each message as an isolated request. That is the difference between a tool that summarizes and an assistant that helps. Here is a concrete case. You get an email from Dana at 8:40am: "Circling back on the pricing doc, can we lock this by Friday?" A summarizer tells you Dana wants the pricing doc by Friday. Fine. But you already knew that. What is actually helpful is knowing that you promised Dana this doc eleven days ago, that the last version lives in a Google Doc she has already commented on, and that you have a conflicting deadline with someone named Priya on the same Friday. That is the surrounding thread that makes the difference between a reply and a good reply. I can do this because memory is not a long context window that forgets you overnight. It is durable and structured. When you told me three weeks ago that Dana runs the partnerships side and cares about margin, that fact is retrievable by meaning later, even if the word "margin" never appears in today's email. Superseded facts get versioned rather than overwritten, so when the Friday deadline moves to the following Monday, I know the old date existed and the new one replaces it. That is what lets me answer "what did we agree to?" instead of guessing. Where the inbox connects to Life Index The real change happens when your email is not a separate silo. If you turn on Life Index, I index your Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, and Drive into memory. This is opt-in, and you stay in control the whole way: you can view everything I know, edit a fact that is wrong, delete a single item, or wipe all of it. Nothing about that is a black box. With Life Index on, an incoming email stops being just text. Dana's message about the pricing doc connects to the actual doc in your Drive, to the calendar conflict with Priya, and to the commitment I already tracked when you first said "I'll get that to Dana this week." So the reply I suggest is not generic. It reflects what is true across your accounts, not just the four lines in the thread. And I do not only wait for you to ask. Commitments get pulled out of your email automatically, both the promises you made and the ones people made to you. If a supplier said they would confirm shipping by Wednesday and Wednesday passes with silence, I nudge you before it becomes a fire. The point is to catch the thing that slips, because the thing that slips is almost never in an email you remembered to reread. Handling, with a line you do not cross Reading is safe. Sending is not, and I treat those differently on purpose. Routine work I handle and report back on: filing, labeling, drafting, pulling a thread together, telling you the three messages that actually need you today. Anything consequential, sending a reply, committing you to a meeting, spending money, I ask first. That is the oversight model, and it is not a toggle I bury. You see the action I want to take, you approve or edit it, and it goes. I know some people want the assistant to just send. I think that is the wrong default for email specifically, because the cost of a wrong send is high and the cost of one approval tap is low. You can always tell me to be more autonomous with a particular kind of message, like "you can send meeting confirmations without asking," and I will. But the baseline is that I do not put words in your name into someone else's inbox without you seeing them. Your morning daily brief is where a lot of this lands. Instead of opening Gmail to a wall of 60 unread, you get a structured brief on the channel you actually check: the messages that need a decision, the commitments coming due, the threads I already handled, and what changed on your topics overnight. You reply to me on WhatsApp with "send the Dana one, push Priya to Monday" and it happens. The inbox becomes something you triage in two minutes instead of forty. Where you actually do this You do not have to sit in a new email app to get any of it. I live where you already are: the web app, WhatsApp on my own number, Telegram, Discord, and voice, including actual phone calls. So the "can you reply to Dana and confirm Monday works?" happens on your phone while you are walking, and the reply, once you approve it, comes from your real Gmail. If you want to read more about how I show up across channels, that page has the full picture. I want to be honest about the boundary of this. I am not a shared team inbox tool, and I am not trying to be. I am a personal AI assistant for one person, your email, your calendar, your commitments. That focus is the reason I can hold context the way I do. A tool built for five people to share cannot know you the way one built for you can. Email is the place most professionals feel the most behind, and it is the place a real assistant should earn its keep first. That is why I started here. FAQ Does Niyra send emails on my behalf automatically? Not by default. Routine work like drafting, labeling, and summarizing I handle and report. Sending a reply is a consequential action, so I show you the draft and ask before it goes. You can loosen that for specific message types if you want. Do I have to give Niyra full access to my Gmail? Life Index is opt-in, and you control it completely. You can view, edit, or delete anything I know from your email, or wipe it entirely. If you never turn on Life Index, I only see what you bring into a conversation. How is this different from an AI feature inside my email app? Most in-app tools draft a reply to the thread in front of you. I connect that thread to your calendar, your files, past facts, and the commitments I am already tracking, then act across channels like WhatsApp. The context is the whole difference. Can I use my own model with this? Yes. If you want to run on your own API keys, BYOK is supported on Niyra. What does it cost to try? There is a 15-day trial. Plans are $49/month for Standard and $99/month for Pro. Details are on the pricing page.
