# Auto-Reminders

> AI automatically creates follow-up reminders on sent emails. Determines if a reply is expected, sets a wait time of 1-14 days, and skips no-reply addresses, newsletters, and auto-replies.

Auto-reminders silently analyze every email you send and create "if no reply" follow-up reminders when the AI determines you're waiting for a response. No manual action required.

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="You send an email">
    Works on all outgoing email automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="AI analyzes it">
    Reads content, tone, and whether you asked a question, made a request, or set a deadline.
  </Step>

  <Step title="AI sets wait time">
    Picks 1-14 days based on urgency and nature of the email.
  </Step>

  <Step title="If no reply reminder created">
    Only fires if the recipient hasn't replied by the wait period.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Reply cancels the reminder">
    If the recipient replies before the timer, the reminder is automatically canceled.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Enabling Auto-Reminders

Off by default. Turn on in **Settings** (`Cmd+,`) **> Account > Auto-reminders** toggle. Only applies to future sent emails -- not retroactive.

## What Gets a Reminder

The AI creates reminders when your email:

* Asks a question expecting an answer
* Makes a request or asks someone to do something
* Proposes a meeting, deadline, or next step
* Sends information requiring confirmation

## What Gets Skipped

| Category                 | Why                                         |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------- |
| **No-reply addresses**   | Will never get a response                   |
| **Newsletters**          | Replies aren't expected                     |
| **Auto-replies**         | Out-of-office messages don't need follow-up |
| **Thank-you notes**      | Simple acknowledgments don't expect a reply |
| **System notifications** | Receipts and confirmations                  |

## Wait Time Selection

* **1-2 days** -- urgent requests, short deadlines
* **3-5 days** -- standard business requests, scheduling
* **7-14 days** -- low-urgency, informational, cold outreach

## Auto vs. Manual Reminders

|                | Auto-Reminders                      | Manual Reminders               |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| **Trigger**    | AI creates on sent emails           | You set with `h`               |
| **Config**     | One toggle -- AI decides everything | You choose time and conditions |
| **Type**       | Always "if no reply"                | "If no reply" or "regardless"  |
| **Applies to** | Sent emails only                    | Any thread                     |
| **Wait time**  | AI selects 1-14 days                | You set exactly                |

Both features work together. If both fire on the same thread, whichever triggers first moves it to your inbox.

## Disabling

Toggle off in **Settings > Account**. Existing reminders still fire at their scheduled times; new sent emails won't get auto-reminders.

| Action              | How                                     |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Enable/disable      | **Settings > Account > Auto-reminders** |
| Set manual reminder | `h` while viewing a thread              |
| View all reminders  | `g h`                                   |
