Slashy’s AI agent is powerful but can occasionally behave in ways you did not intend. Here is exactly what to do.

​
Agent Sent an Email Without Permission

This is the most serious scenario. Act immediately.
1

Verify what was sent

Press g then t to go to Sent. Check recent emails for anything you did not write or approve.
2

Enable Read Mode

Settings (Cmd+,) > toggle on Read Mode. This prevents the agent from sending emails, modifying threads, or creating events. It can still search, read, and draft.
3

Check automations

Settings > Automations — review all enabled triggers and agent reminders. Disable any automation that might be sending on your behalf.
4

Report it

Contact support with: approximate send time, subject line, recipient, active automations, and a screenshot.

​
Agent Says It Sent but Didn’t

Sometimes the agent says “I’ve sent the email” when it actually created a draft. This is a known issue. How to verify:
  1. g t (Sent) — if the email is not there, it was not sent
  2. g d (Drafts) — the email is likely here as an unsent draft
  3. Open it, review, and send manually
Why it happens: The agent creates a draft and reports success, but the send step failed or the agent is configured to draft-only. By default, sending requires explicit approval.

​
AI Review Reverts Your Edits

If you edit an AI draft to sound more natural, then run an agent review, the review may overwrite your changes with AI-generated text.
The agent review rewrites the full email. It does not know which parts you edited manually.
How to avoid this:
  • Run agent review before your manual edits, not after
  • Use Cmd+Z to undo if the review overwrites changes
  • Select only the specific passage you want changed, rather than running a full review

​
Read Mode: Your Safety Switch

  • Search and read emails
  • Answer questions about your inbox
  • Create drafts for review
  • Look up calendar events
Enable it: Settings (Cmd+,) > Account > Read Mode. Keep it on until you trust the setup.

​
Disconnect Your Email

If you need to fully disconnect Slashy from Gmail:
  1. Settings > Account > Connected Accounts > Disconnect
  2. Or revoke access from myaccount.google.com/permissions
Slashy never deletes emails from Gmail. It only adds/removes labels and sends on your behalf.

​
Preventing Surprises

  • Audit automations regularly — disable anything you don’t actively use
  • Use Read Mode when learning — disable once you trust the setup
  • Check Sent after agent interactions — g t to verify
  • Be explicit — say “draft a reply” instead of “reply” if you want to review first
  • Add a memory — “Always draft emails for my review, never send directly”
