AI email assistant for Gmail: connect with Google, no password, and let the agent sort your inbox
An AI email assistant for Gmail should read the pile, tell you what needs you today and write the answers, then wait. We connected Gmail to our test agent through Google's own sign-in page, with no password in the chat, and gave it two days of a studio owner's mail. Below is the real chat: the triage, three reply drafts that went nowhere until a yes, a lease letter from August found by one question, and what it all costs in magnets.
The short answer
An AI email assistant for Gmail earns its place when it does three things: reads the new mail for you, tells you which letters need you today, and writes the reply you would have written, then waits. That is how your agent on WAM Agents works with Gmail. You connect Google once through Google's own sign-in page, with no password in the chat, and from then on you ask in plain words: “go through my mail”, “draft the answer to Lena”, “when do I have to sign the lease?”
Nothing leaves your mailbox on its own. The agent shows each draft in the chat and sends only after your yes, and it opens Gmail for the task you give it, never in the background. Connecting Google works on Free, and the pricing page puts three days of mail, triaged with a reply drafted, at 6 .
Connect Gmail: one Google link, no password
The first question everyone asks is about the password, so that is where our test started. This is the real chat with our test agent on 30 October 2026.
Our test agent was connected earlier, so the answer skips the link and explains the mechanics. The important line is the second paragraph: you sign in on Google's page, and the agent gets access, not your password. That is the same OAuth sign-in you use for “Continue with Google” on other services.
For a new agent the steps are short. This is how the Guide describes them on 30 October 2026:
- Ask the agent to connect Google, or simply give it a mail task. It sends one link.
- Open the link in your browser, not inside Telegram.
- Sign in with your Google account on Google's page and allow access.
- Back in the chat, the agent confirms that Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Drive are connected.
One link covers all six services, and the link shows when it expires. The step is optional and works on the Free plan.
The test: a studio owner and two days of mail
Our reader for this test is Maya, who runs a small ceramics studio: classes on the wheel, an online shop, the occasional order from a café. Her Gmail has a label called Studio, and over two days it collected eight letters. A café owner wants 40 mugs for an opening. A customer got a cracked bowl. The kiln technician offers two slots. A student wants to move her class. The accountant needs receipts. Plus a supplier promo, a shop notification and a meetup digest. In August the landlord sent a lease renewal that is still unread.
Maya, the letters and their senders are made up for the test. The agent's replies are real and quoted as they came, shortened in places but never added to. Every request went in plain words, the way you would write to an assistant.
Task 1. Morning triage: what matters, what needs you, what can wait
About a minute from the message to the answer. We checked it against the eight letters: every name, date, price and order number matches the letters. The August lease letter stayed out, because the request said “the last two days”.
Three things make this triage worth more than a list of subjects. First, the sorting is by what the letter asks of you, not by sender: Daniel is “important” for the deadline and also sits in “needs your answer”, because the receipts are on you. Second, every line carries the detail you would otherwise open the letter for: the slot times, the €85 visit, the Monday deadline. Third, the last line connects two letters that came from different people on different days. The kiln has to work before 40 mugs can be fired, so the Thursday slot is the one to take. That is the kind of note you write to yourself only after reading everything twice.
Task 2. A reply that waits for your yes
The triage says Lena needs a price and a date. Maya decides and hands over the terms in one line.
Nine seconds. The draft keeps every term from the request and nothing else, then asks about the two places where a buyer usually comes back with a question: how much exactly is the advance, and when is the rest due. You answer “add 360 EUR, balance on delivery is fine, send” and the letter goes. Until then it sits in the chat.
This is the rule the FAQ states on the site: the agent shows you a draft and waits for your yes before an email or a message goes out. In practice it means you can hand over the writing without handing over the decision.
Task 3. Two short answers in one message
Small replies are the ones that pile up, because each feels too small to open the laptop for. Here two of them go in one message.
Both drafts are short and in the right tone: an apology that takes responsibility for the customer, a plain yes for the student. The note at the end is useful too. The agent kept to the facts it had and asked for the class time, and it offered to name the shipping day, which customers like to see. Give it the hour, say “send both”, and two threads are closed.
Task 4. An old letter, found by a question
Search is where an assistant in your mail saves the most time, because you rarely remember the subject line. Maya remembers only that the lease letter came “sometime in the summer”.
The two answers come in the first lines, exactly as the letter says them. Then the agent does arithmetic nobody asked for: 70 euros more, about 7%. And it spots the trap in the dates. With two months' notice, a tenant who wants to leave at the end of the year has to say so by the end of October, a month before the signing deadline. A good assistant reads the letter the way a careful friend would, and this answer shows it.
Task 5. A letter that turns into a reminder
Some letters do not need a reply, they need you to do something on a certain day. Daniel's request for receipts is one of them.
Six seconds, with the date resolved from “Monday” and the time in your time zone. A one-off reminder like this works on Free. Pro adds recurring reminders and scheduled tasks, so “every Monday at 9:00, tell me what in the Studio label needs an answer” becomes a standing routine.
What changes compared with sorting mail yourself
Gmail already does a lot on its own: labels, filters, categories, search operators. Those tools are excellent at keeping the mailbox tidy, and the agent works on top of them. In our test it read the label Maya had set up and searched inside it.
What the agent adds is the reading. Filters move letters by sender or by words; the agent understands what each letter asks of you and by when, and it says so in one line. It connects letters to each other, like the kiln and the café order. It writes the answer in your voice from one line of instructions. And it does all of that in the Telegram chat you already have open, next to the other work you give it, so “answer Lena” and “make me a price sheet for cafés” go to the same assistant.
Your agent is also more than a mail tool. It remembers you and your projects between chats, works in your groups and forum topics, and with the same Google connection writes documents, tables and slides in your own Drive. It starts in Telegram, and other messengers can be connected.

Tips for the first week
- Point it at a scope. “The Studio label, the last two days” gets a sharper answer than “my inbox”. A label for each part of your life is worth setting up anyway.
- Say who you are in the first message. A name for the signature and one line about your work set the tone for every draft after that.
- Give terms, not wording. “Yes, 18 EUR each, half upfront” is enough; the agent turns it into a letter and asks about the gaps.
- Ask for the dates to be checked. “Do any deadlines in these letters clash?” is a question it answers well, as the lease letter showed.
- Turn letters into reminders on the spot. When a letter means work on a certain day, one message puts it on your schedule.
- Keep the triage habit short. A daily “what needs me today?” takes a minute to read and saves the morning scroll.

What it costs
Gmail and the other connectors work on both plans. Free gives 200 in the first month and 100 every month after, with no card. Pro costs $13.90 a month with 400 , or $1.39 for the first month if you subscribe within 7 days of signing up.
The rate card on the pricing page puts three days of mail, triaged, summarised and with a reply drafted, at 6 , and counts 30 such triages in the first free month. In our test, by the balance in the agent's status line, the triage of two days and the lease search came to 7 each, a reply draft to 2–4 , and the reminder to 1 . On the default model, text costs 1 per 20,000 tokens, and magnets are spent only when the agent does something.

Do I have to give the agent my Google password?
No. You connect through Google's own sign-in page: the agent sends one link, you open it in your browser, sign in with Google and allow access. Your password never goes through the chat. You can remove the access later in your Google account settings.
Will it send an email without asking me?
No. The agent is set up to show you a draft and wait for your yes before an email goes out. In our test it wrote three drafts and sent none of them, because nobody said yes.
Does it read my mail all the time?
It opens Gmail for the task you give it, never in the background. In our test it looked only where we pointed: one label, the last two days, then one older letter by a question.
Is Gmail included in the Free plan?
Yes. Connectors, Gmail and Google Calendar included, work on Free as well as Pro. Free gives 200 in the first month and 100 every month after, with no card.
How much does an inbox triage cost?
The pricing page lists three days of mail, triaged, summarised and with a reply drafted, at 6 . In our test the triage of two days and the search for an old letter came to 7 each by the balance in the status line, and a reply draft to 2–4 .
Which Google services connect with the same link?
Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Drive connect together with one link. After that the agent reads, drafts and sends in your own accounts when you ask it to.
