An AI agent that works your Gmail inbox for you.
Connect Gmail and an OpenHelm agent can read, label, draft and send from your own account on a schedule you set. It runs in an isolated cloud environment, keeps a log of every action, and at lower autonomy levels leaves drafts for your sign-off rather than sending anything itself.
Recurring jobs
What an OpenHelm agent can do with Gmail.
Each of these runs as a scheduled, self-correcting job: you describe it in plain English, approve the plan once, and an independent evaluator checks every run against the goal.
Morning inbox triage
Every weekday at 8am, scan unread mail, classify each message by intent and urgency, apply labels, and send you a short needs-reply digest.
Reply drafting in your voice
Draft responses to routine enquiries using the context of the thread. Drafts sit in Gmail for your approval, or send automatically at the highest autonomy level.
Follow-up chasing
Track sent threads still waiting on an answer and send a polite nudge after a set number of working days, stopping the moment a reply lands.
Inbox to data table
Extract structured details from incoming mail, such as enquiries, invoices or booking requests, into an OpenHelm data table your other jobs and reports can use.
Get started
Connect Gmail in minutes.
- 1
Connect Gmail
Add Gmail under Connections in the OpenHelm app and complete the hosted sign-in, or mint a connect link programmatically with POST /v1/connections/links.
- 2
Describe the job in plain English
Tell OpenHelm what you want done and how often. It drafts a plan with a schedule, the tools it will use, and a clear definition of done.
- 3
Approve the plan
No job fires until you have reviewed the plan. Set the autonomy level to control whether writes execute directly or queue for your approval.
- 4
It runs, self-checks and reports
Runs execute in isolated cloud sandboxes on schedule. An independent evaluator scores each run against the goal, and results arrive as logs, emails or data-table rows.
For developers
Or provision the connection over the API.
curl https://api.openhelm.ai/v1/connections/links \
-H "Authorization: Bearer oh_live_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "provider": "<provider id>", "name": "Gmail" }'
# → a short-lived hosted link; open once to authorise, then
# poll GET /v1/connections until it shows as authenticated.
# Provider ids are listed in the Connections API docs.The same connections back runs started over REST. See the AI agent API and the Connections API docs.
