Release 0.2.0 — editable drafts and attachments

Editable drafts

Until now, the assistant could create a draft, but not change it. If you wanted a different tone, a corrected name, or a shorter signature, the only option was to discard the draft and let the assistant start over. With this release, the assistant can revise an existing draft as often as you like — refine the wording, fix a detail, add a paragraph — until it is ready.

The workflow is now: draft once, iterate as often as needed, then send (sending arrives in a future release).

A safety net is built in: should the assistant ever try to edit a message that is not actually a draft, the change is refused with a clear error. Your received mail stays untouched.

Replies that look like replies

When the assistant drafts a reply, it now does what every regular mail client does on its Reply button. The draft is properly threaded — when you eventually send it, your recipient's mail client groups it into the existing conversation rather than opening a new thread, in Gmail-style conversation views and classic threaded clients alike.

The draft body also automatically carries the original message as a quoted block, in the familiar "On <date>, <sender> wrote: > …" format you know from Outlook, Thunderbird and Apple Mail. The assistant only writes the new text; the quote is added for you. If you ask for a short reply without quoting, the assistant can leave the quote out.

Attachments via secure download links

When you ask the assistant for an attachment, it now hands you a download link you can click directly in the chat. Real PDFs, Word documents and images cannot reasonably be passed through an AI conversation in their raw form; a download link gives you the file in its actual format, ready to open or forward.

The link is designed to be safe by default:

• Each link is valid for 15 minutes, then expires automatically. The assistant can issue a fresh link at any time on request.
• Before the link is generated, we verify that the attachment still exists. If the original message has been moved or deleted, you get a clear "not found" notice instead of a dead link.
• Search engines cannot index the link, and access is rate-limited — so even if a link were shared accidentally, it could not be discovered or scraped.
• Attachments up to 10 MB are supported; for larger files you get a clear error rather than a truncated download.

What's next

The next step completes the mail workflow: sending the draft, marking messages as read or starred, and moving messages to the trash. Because these actions change the contents of your mailbox, we are building them with clear confirmation prompts so nothing is sent or moved without your explicit go-ahead.

After that, Microsoft 365 joins IMAP as a supported mail provider. You will add an Outlook mailbox with a single click in the portal — no app password, no server settings. From the assistant's perspective, an Outlook mailbox works exactly like any other.
