AI email digest: your Gmail, summarized on schedule

A Somodus agent reads the new email in the Gmail labels you choose, decides what actually matters, and sends you one AI-written digest — every morning, or on any schedule you pick. It arrives as a clean email or a Telegram message, so fifty unread threads become one two-minute read.

What the digest can do

Summarize what matters, skip what doesn't

The agent doesn't just list subjects — it reads the messages, groups related threads, surfaces what needs a reply or a decision, and compresses the rest to a line each.

Combine your newsletters into one briefing

Subscribe to twenty newsletters, read one. The agent merges them into a single briefing with the overlapping stories deduplicated and the unique insights kept.

Deliver outside your inbox

The digest can arrive as an email — or somewhere calmer: your Telegram chat, a Slack channel for the team, or a Notion page that builds a searchable archive. Summaries of your inbox don't have to live in the inbox that overwhelmed you.

Ask follow-up questions

Because the digest comes from a two-way agent, you can reply in Telegram — "what did the client email say exactly?" — and get an answer, by text or voice.

How it's different from built-in inbox AI

Mail providers now summarize individual threads when you open them. A scheduled digest agent solves a different problem: it works while you're not looking, on the labels you choose, and delivers wherever you actually pay attention — including channels outside your mailbox entirely. It's the difference between a reading aid and a briefing that shows up by itself.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI send me a daily summary of my inbox?

Yes. A Somodus agent reads new mail in the Gmail labels you choose, summarizes what matters with AI, and sends one digest on your schedule — every morning at 8am, twice a day, or weekly — to your email or Telegram.

Can it combine multiple newsletters into one email?

Yes. Point it at your newsletter label and it merges everything new into a single briefing, deduplicating overlapping stories and keeping each source's unique points, with links back to the originals.

Is my email safe?

Somodus connects through Google OAuth with only the permissions your agent needs, credentials are protected with envelope encryption, and secrets are never returned to the browser. Details: somodus.com/security

Can the digest go to Telegram or Slack instead of email?

Yes — that's one of the best parts. Delivery can be your Telegram chat (where you can also ask follow-up questions by text or voice), a Slack or Discord channel, a Notion page, or plain email.

Do I need to build a workflow or write rules?

No. Describe what you want in plain language — "every weekday at 8am, summarize new mail from these labels and flag anything that needs a reply" — review the generated plan, and the agent runs in the cloud 24/7. No workflow editor, no coding required.
