Pro Tips

j/kto navigate,Cmd+Enterto draft,eto archive the rest. - AI drafts for speed: Accept the AI draft for routine responses. Edit only when nuance matters. Most executives cut reply time by 60%.
- Board prep on demand: Ask the agent “Summarize all board-related emails from the last month” before any board meeting for a complete communication recap.
- Delegate, don’t forward: Instead of forwarding raw threads to your EA, ask the agent to add context and action items. Your EA spends less time decoding and more time executing.
