# Email

> Ariel email capabilities

<Badge color="purple">Coming soon</Badge>

Ariel is bringing a deeply capable email interface that feels less like automation and more like a thoughtful ally. You stay focused on meaningful work while Ariel keeps your inbox calm, responsive, and under control.

## What Email Will Do

* Smart triage to surface what matters and quietly archive noise
* Automatic labeling and routing by contact, topic, priority, and intent
* Compose in your voice and tone, with drafts ready for one‑tap approval
* Automatic follow‑ups and gentle nudges so threads don’t go cold
* Scheduling via email threads with calendar awareness and time‐zone handling
* Summaries of long threads and attachments with key decisions and next steps
* Out‑of‑office and context‑aware autoresponders that reflect your style
* Secure sending/receiving from your own address for a seamless, personal feel

## How Email Works

  <Step title="Approve">
    One‑tap approvals from anywhere; adjust tone or labels inline.

## Labels

Use labels to keep your inbox organized and workflows flowing. Ariel applies labels automatically and can suggest new ones as patterns emerge.

### How labeling works

* Learns from your past actions and contact relationships
* Uses thread context to infer intent (e.g., invoice, intro, scheduling)
* Honors rules you define (e.g., VIP senders → Urgent)
* Shows draft label changes before sending or filing

### Examples

* From a VIP client asking for an update → Labels: Clients, Urgent
* Airline itinerary update → Labels: Travel, FYI
* Email thread proposing times → Labels: Scheduling, Clients

### Controls

* Approve or auto‑apply by label category
* Set escalation rules for Urgent threads
* Export labels to your email provider where supported

## Availability

<Info>
  Email is in active development. The first release will focus on inbox triage,
  summarization, and safe draft‑reply workflows. In the upcoming Ariel Agent plan,
  you’ll be able to fully delegate email handling end‑to‑end — including autonomous
  replies, follow‑ups, and scheduling — with approvals and guardrails you control.

## The Promise

When your inbox gets busy, Ariel keeps it composed. Think less clutter and more clarity — so you can create, think, breathe, and be brilliant.
