Permissions Explained
Alexia.ai requests read-only access to your email by default. This allows it to read, categorise, and summarise emails without making changes. If you want Alexia.ai to draft replies (which you still review and send), you can enable write access in Settings.
Processing Time
After connecting, Alexia.ai will begin processing your recent emails. This initial scan usually takes 2-5 minutes depending on inbox size. After the initial scan, new emails are processed in real-time.
Alexia.ai never sends emails on your behalf without your explicit approval. All draft replies are presented for your review first.
