Absolutely. We will be adding a safe mode where April can perform only read, summarize emails & calendar schedule, create drafts but cannot send or delete emails.

Maybe reading out the draft to confirm before sending could be a nice middle ground? Could help with peace of mind about exactly what's being sent, and you could go back and forth on the message if it's not quite right. Once people use it for awhile and trust it more, they could then enable auto-send.

Congrats on the launch btw—cool stuff!

That happens now - before Send/Delete it will ask for confirmation.

Oh nice. Does it read you the text of the draft? Didn’t think I saw that in the demo, but maybe I missed it.

Yeah, It does. We mentioned only few of the things in the demo or else it would have been very long. Apart from hard delete, create /edit labels - all operations can be done through April.

Create/edit/delete draft are very common use cases as people would like to read before sending.
