Guide
AI
Learn how to use mail summaries, automatic inbox classification, and AI credits.
AI in Outdraft
AI helps you find messages that need attention and get a quick overview of a message before reading it in full. Outdraft classifies incoming personal mail automatically, and you can select Summarize in a message’s detail toolbar to request a short summary.
Both features use your AI credit balance. Inbox categories appear after eligible messages are processed; summaries are generated when you request them. A summary remains available for 10 minutes, so reopening the same message during that time uses no additional credits.
AI can assign the wrong category, miss an important detail, or produce an inaccurate summary. Check the original message before acting on dates, amounts, payment requests, or account instructions.
Inbox classification
Open Mail → Inbox to browse automatically classified personal mail. Classification may take a moment after a message arrives. A message can appear in Priority as well as in its category; Priority is a flag, not another category. Spam is handled separately from AI classification.
All Mail
Every message in your inbox, including mail without a category.
Priority
Mail flagged for attention. Priority is separate from the other categories.
Transaction
Receipts, payments, orders, and similar activity.
Update
Service, project, account, and delivery updates.
Promotion
Marketing messages, offers, and campaigns.
Mail summaries
Open a message and select Summarize in the mail detail toolbar to generate a short summary. This also works for messages you can read in a Nest. Drafts and scheduled messages do not have this action.
A summary covers the current message’s subject and body. Attachments and other messages in the conversation are not included. Check the original message for exact dates, amounts, and instructions, since AI can miss details or make mistakes.
Summaries stay available for 10 minutes after generation. Close and reopen the same message during that time to see its existing summary without generating it again. Reopening does not restart the 10-minute period. Refreshing the page clears saved summaries, and they are not available in another tab or on another device.
Each new summary uses AI credits from your available balance. Viewing an existing summary does not use additional credits. After it expires or you refresh the page, select Summarize again to generate a new summary and use credits again. Failed summary requests do not deduct credits from your balance.
Monthly AI credits
Every plan includes a monthly AI credit allowance. Credits are deducted at the API provider’s cost, with no added multiplier: 1 million credits equals $0.15 USD of API usage. Charges depend on the model, processing mode, and actual usage, rounded up to the nearest credit per request. Agent chats, file analysis, image generation, inbox classification, and mail summaries share this balance.
| Plan | Included each month |
|---|---|
| Free | 500,000 |
| Pro | 5,000,000 |
| Team | 20,000,000 |
| Scale | 200,000,000 |
Open Insights → Analytics → Usage to review AI usage, your remaining credit balance, and when the current monthly period ends. Your plan limits are also listed in Billing & Subscription.
You can also add credits from Usage. Monthly packs are available on paid plans and renew each month; unused monthly credits do not roll over. One-time packs do not renew and expire 12 months after purchase.
