Chat on the web

Where to ask

• The box at the top of Home: type and press Enter.
• The chat panel on any page: it opens beside what you’re working on, and expands to full screen.

When you ask from an open thread, “this” means that thread: “summarize this”, “draft a reply to this”, “make a task from this”.

What alfred_ answers from

• Email and calendars from every connected account
• Tasks in alfred_ and Google Tasks
• Notes and documents in your workspace
• What alfred_ remembers about the people and work in your life (see Memory)
• Connected apps like Slack, Microsoft Teams, HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion and Google Drive
• The web, when you ask it to look something up or read a link

Answers link back to the messages and events they came from, so you can check.

What to ask

When alfred_ acts

Things only you can see happen right away: looking things up, adding a task, saving a note, or putting a meeting with no guests on your own calendar.

These ask first, with a card that shows exactly what will happen:

• Sending an email or a reply
• Creating or changing a meeting that invites other people
• Archiving or moving mail
• Changing a repeating task

Confirm it, ask for a change (“make it shorter”, “move it to 3pm”), or cancel. See Drafts and approvals.

Chat history

Every conversation is saved. Use the conversation list beside the chat panel, or Search chats to find one by what was said. New chat starts with a clean slate; alfred_ still knows your email, calendar and what you’ve asked it to remember.
