Manus is an AI email assistant that connects to your Gmail and Google Calendar, not the AI built into Gmail. It reads your mail, checks your schedule and drafts the replies, and nothing is sent until you say so.
Use Manus as an AI email summarizer that reads what came in overnight, sorts it by project and tells you what needs you today.
Set it up once as a scheduled task to automate Gmail triage. Every weekday morning, Manus reads the last 24 hours of unread mail, sorts it by project, highlights urgent blockers and lists the top 5 things to do today.
Manus finds who you’re meeting, reads your recent emails with them and hands you a brief.
Name the meeting. Manus finds the attendees in Google Calendar, reads the last 30 days of your Gmail with them and sums up their pain points and the next steps you last agreed on.
Turn the brief into an automation. When a Google Calendar meeting is one hour away, a new Manus task reads the related Gmail threads and writes a brief with context and talking points.
Hand over the email that needs work. Manus does the research, makes the files and writes the reply.
Manus reads the request, runs Wide Research on the sender’s company website, makes a 10-slide pitch deck with speaker notes and drafts a reply with the deck attached. You look over both before anything is sent.
Manus checks your work and personal calendars for open time and writes the Gmail AI reply from the account you choose. You can edit it, save it to drafts or send it.
Supplier and vendor emails often carry the numbers. Manus moves them into the base or sheet where your team keeps them.
Manus finds the latest Weekly Stock Report email, reads the numbers in the attached PDF, updates Current Stock in your Airtable base and lists the items that changed more than usual.
Manus reads each invoice email, adds a row to your budget sheet and saves the PDF in a Google Drive folder, so the numbers and the files stay in one place.
Gmail and Google Calendar are built-in connectors in Manus. Connect them once, and your Gmail AI assistant is ready in any task.
In Manus, open Connectors and choose Gmail and Google Calendar.
Click Connect, pick your Google account and approve access. Add more accounts later if you use more than one.
Mention Gmail or Google Calendar in the chat box and say what you need, in your own words.
Would you rather forward emails than connect your inbox? Mail Manus gives you your own Manus address, and each email you send to it starts a task.
Manus reads on its own. Emails and calendar changes wait for you.
Change the recipients, subject, text or attachments, then save it to your Gmail drafts or click Send.
A new, changed or deleted event shows up as a card with the details. Check it, then click Create, Update or Delete.
Connect work, personal or client accounts and tell Manus which one to send or book from.
Yes. Gmail and Google Calendar are built-in connectors in Manus. Once connected, Manus can search and read your email, check your calendar, and prepare emails and calendar events for you to review.
No. Manus is a separate AI agent, not a feature of Gmail. You connect your Google account to Manus once, then ask for what you need in a Manus task.
Yes. Gmail is one of the prebuilt MCP connectors in Manus, so you don’t need to run your own Gmail MCP server. Sign in with your Google account and approve access, and a single request can read your Gmail and act on it, alone or together with other apps such as Google Calendar, Google Sheets or Airtable.
Open Connectors in Manus, choose Gmail and Google Calendar, and click Connect. Sign in with Google and approve access. Then mention Gmail or Google Calendar in any task.
Yes, for your own inbox. Manus summarizes unread mail, sorts it by project, finds the emails that need an answer and drafts the replies for you to check.
Yes, with your OK. When Manus writes an email, it shows you an Email Draft in the task. You can change the recipients, subject, text and attachments, then click Save to Gmail drafts or Send.
Yes. Manus can search and read your Google Calendar events, find open time and prepare new events or changes. Each new, updated or deleted event appears as a card, and you click Create, Update or Delete.
Yes. Run the same request on a schedule, such as every weekday morning, or set up an automation that starts when a new Gmail message matches a search or an hour before a Google Calendar meeting.
Yes. Connect your work, personal or client accounts. Manus can use several of them in one task, and you choose which account it sends an email or creates an event from.
With the Gmail connector, Manus reads your own inbox and calendar from inside a task. With Mail Manus, you forward, send or CC an email to your own Manus address, and that email starts a task.
Manus hides connector output in shared tasks and removes sensitive details such as API keys. You can switch accounts from Manage, then Configure, or disconnect Gmail at any time in Connectors.
