Your first week with Slashy

Slashy replaces your Gmail tab with an AI email client that learns how you write, drafts replies, and runs automations in the background. Here is how to spend your first week, one focused step at a time.

​

The setup flow

After you sign in with Google or Microsoft, Slashy walks you through a short setup. Each step has a Continue button, and you can step away and pick up where you left off.

​

Day 1: Sign in and take the setup

Sign in with Google or Microsoft. New accounts connect their mailbox in the same flow, so you only see one consent screen. Existing users land directly in the app. See Connecting Outlook. While you review the inbox preview, Slashy researches your mail in the background. The About you step shows what it learned as it finishes. Spend ten minutes reading mail in Slashy. Use j and k to move between threads, Enter to open, and e to archive. Press Shift+? any time for the full shortcut overlay.

​

Day 2: Set up the iMessage agent

In the iMessage step, click connect and Slashy opens the Messages app with a prefilled message. Send it to finish connecting. Once connected, you can text the agent for daily briefings, OTP forwarding, and full inbox commands from anywhere. If you skipped this step, you can finish it later in Settings → Integrations → iMessage. To bring Slashy into a group conversation, see iMessage group chats.

​

Day 3: Turn on your first automations

The Put Slashy to work step suggests automations based on what your inbox looks like, such as meeting briefings, investor and customer alerts, or a weekly inbox clean up. Turn each one on or off. Some suggestions let you choose options before you enable them, and suggestions marked Take action can act on your behalf, so read them before you enable them. You can write your own in plain English later from the agent sidebar (Cmd+/), and change any suggestion in Settings → Automations.

​

Day 4: Check your memories

Memories are short facts the AI uses when drafting and scheduling. The About you step shows the starter set Slashy wrote from your mail. Review and edit them in Settings → Memories, and add things like your role, your team, the way you sign off, or a project you are running.

​

Day 5 to 7: Settle into your daily flow

You are now in your main inbox. Build the habits that compound:

• Generate drafts with Cmd+Enter and edit them before sending. Your edits train the style model.
• Accept ghost text with Tab while composing.
• Create snippets with n s for replies you send often, and insert them with /.
• Press 2 for the calendar, Shift+Cmd+A to insert open time slots in a reply.
• Ask the agent for “my dropped balls right now” whenever the daily scan is not enough.
• Press Shift+T to add a thread to your tasks.

By the end of the week, drafts need lighter edits, importance sorting matches your taste, and automations are surfacing the things that matter.
