AI assistant for Gmail
Let Joshu read and help run the Gmail inbox you already live in. Triage, drafts, and follow-up, without a second mailbox to check.
Then $95 a month with no token fees, no resets, and no caps.
What you can ask Joshu in Gmail
You: What came in overnight that actually needs me?
Joshu sweeps the newsletter noise into the background, pulls out the threads that matter, and leaves a clean brief on your desk.
You: Turn this down politely, but keep the door open.
Written in your tone with the whole thread and calendar in view. The draft waits in Gmail for your review before anything sends.
You: What rate did we promise Sarah in October?
Joshu searches months of back-and-forth and cites the exact email and number, without you digging through search operators.
Connect a Google Workspace or personal Gmail account so Joshu can triage threads, draft replies, and follow up from the inbox you already check every morning.
What Joshu does
Joshu keeps a working memory of the threads you share. It can label and archive noise, surface what needs you, propose replies with full thread context, and send from its own Joshu address when you want a clean handoff. When you CC Joshu on scheduling mail, it reads the same Gmail thread and coordinates with Google Calendar.
What you do
Open Connectors in Joshu's desktop and authorize Gmail with Google OAuth. Choose which labels or inboxes Joshu can see. Decide whether Joshu sends as you, as itself, or waits for approval on outbound mail.
Why it sticks
Gmail is where the work already is. Joshu reads it instead of asking you to forward every message into a chat box.
Permissions and limits
Joshu only accesses mail in accounts and labels you explicitly connect. It cannot read other Google accounts on the same login unless you add them. You can revoke access anytime from Google Account security settings or from Joshu's connector panel.
What can Joshu do here?
Joshu reads Gmail with the OAuth scopes you approve, drafts work on its desk, and waits for your sign-off before anything sends or posts.
Joshu vs Gmail's built-in AI
Built-in assistants usually live inside one app tab. Joshu keeps email, calendar, files, and Gmail in one persistent memory so follow-ups do not reset every session.
Frequently asked questions
Joshu connects to your Google Workspace or personal Gmail account using Google OAuth. It reads incoming threads, keeps labels organized, and drafts replies. You work with an assistant who has a desk, a computer, and persistent memory, not a chat window you have to re-prompt from scratch every morning.
Yes. Every Joshu runs in its own isolated, sandboxed cloud computer. Your mail, files, and memory stay in that private sandbox. Joshu only accesses the specific mailbox and labels you authorize, and your data is never used to train public AI models.
By default, no. Drafts land in your Gmail drafts folder for you to review and approve before anything leaves. When you want a thread handled end to end, you can also have Joshu reply from its dedicated @joshu.me address.
Only the mailbox and labels you grant during Google sign-in. Joshu can read incoming threads, search message history, organize labels, archive clutter, inspect attachments, and write drafts. It cannot see your other Google accounts or personal files outside the permissions you approve.
Smart replies are automated one-liners inside a web tab. Joshu is a teammate with its own computer, long-term memory, files, and calendar. It reads the full thread, checks past notes, and drafts complete responses. Because it has persistent memory, it tracks commitments and follows up days later instead of waiting for you to click a button.
Joshu is $95 a month after a 14-day free trial. That includes your sandboxed cloud computer, a dedicated US phone number, an @joshu.me email address, persistent memory across your tools, and all tool connectors, including Gmail. There are no surprise usage tiers or seat markups.
