An AI agent for your Outlook mailbox.
Connect Outlook and an OpenHelm agent can triage, draft and follow up from your Microsoft 365 mailbox on a recurring schedule. Every run is logged, results are checked by a separate evaluator, and drafts wait for your approval unless you raise the autonomy level.
Recurring jobs
What an OpenHelm agent can do with Outlook.
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.
Daily mailbox triage
Each morning, sort new mail into folders by intent, flag anything urgent, and email you a two-minute summary of what actually needs a human.
Draft replies for routine mail
Prepare replies to recurring request types, such as scheduling, documents and status queries, and leave them in Drafts for one-click review.
Awaiting-reply chaser
Keep a list of threads you are waiting on and send measured follow-ups on a working-day cadence until they resolve.
Attachment filing and extraction
Pull key fields from attachments such as invoices or purchase orders into a data table, so nothing lives only in a buried email.
Get started
Connect Outlook in minutes.
- 1
Connect Outlook
Add Outlook 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": "Outlook" }'
# → 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.

Connect once, describe the job, approve the plan. From then on it runs on schedule, checks its own work, and reports back with evidence.
