Astrobot - Email Assistant

Meet Astrobot, your new intelligent email assistant. The Astrobot Alexa email skill helps you manage your Gmail or Office 365 email from your Alexa-enabled device.

Astrobot immediately tells you how many new priority emails you have and helps you read, reply to, and manage your inbox.

SET UP

1. Select “Enable” to link your Amazon account, you’ll be taken to an Amazon authorization page.
2. Next, you’ll be asked to add a Gmail or Office 365 account.
3. Now you can start using the Astrobot Alexa email skill. Say “Alexa, Open Astrobot.” Then, say “Read Priority Inbox” to hear your most important emails.

If you have questions about Privacy and Security before signing up, please check out the Astro FAQ page: http://astr.to/faq-security-and-privacy.

“READ PRIORITY INBOX” Catch up on only your most important emails. Astrobot uses AI to categorize your emails into Priority Inbox, which includes emails from people you interact with frequently. By asking Alexa to only read emails from Priority Inbox, you’ll avoid having messages like email newsletters read to you.

You can also ask Alexa to read you just your Starred emails, or your Other Inbox. Other Inbox includes all of your emails that didn’t make it into Priority Inbox.

“SNOOZE”, “DELETE”, “ARCHIVE” Get through your inbox quickly, with commands for Snooze, Delete, Archive, Star, Next, and Repeat. Once Alexa starts reading an email, say a relevant command to triage the message.

Say “next” to move between emails in your inbox. Alexa will always read you the latest message in each email thread. The Astrobot Alexa email skill doesn't currently support reading all messages in an email thread.

REPLY “RUNNING LATE”, “THANKS”, “OUT OF OFFICE”, ETC Astrobot can help you respond quickly to emails. Say a short phrase from the list of Quick Replies, and Astrobot will confirm the response and send an email. For example, if you say “running late”, Astrobot will respond with a slightly more polite and longer answer, “Sorry, I’m running a little late. Be there shortly.”

Quick Replies: “Yes”, “Sounds good”, “No”, “Thanks”, “Out of the office”, “On my way”, “Running late”, “Running 15 mins late”, “End of Day”, “Back to you”

Astrobot currently only offers reply all and doesn’t support custom replies.

ABOUT ASTRO The Astrobot Alexa skill works best when you are using Astro’s email apps, since Astrobot learns how you prioritize emails. But, you can use the Astrobot Alexa skill without Astro’s email apps as long as you have a Gmail or Office 365 email address.
