Watch EverAsk do it

This is the real run from this page, played back step by step in EverAsk.

  1. 1You ask in your own words
  2. 2EverAsk does the work
  3. 3The summary is ready

Replayed at an easy pace to follow. The words are exactly what EverAsk wrote.

A replay of EverAsk at work. The request typed was: Summarise this email thread for me in plain words. Tell me what has been agreed, what is still waiting on my answer, and what I need to do and by when. Keep it short. The thread: [1] From Tom (landlord), Mon: "Hi Carol, the roof repair on the shop is booked for the week of 9 June. The builders need the back room cleared by Friday 6 June. I'll cover the repair, but the new gutter is £380 and I'd like to split it 50/50." [2] From Carol, Mon: "Thanks Tom. Can they work around opening hours, 9 to 5?" [3] From Tom, Tue: "They start at 7 and finish by 3, so mornings will be noisy. They'll need the side gate unlocked each day." [4] From Priya (Carol's assistant), Tue: "I can move the stock to the storage unit on Thursday 5 June if someone books the van." [5] From Tom, Wed: "Also, the scaffolding goes up on Sunday 8 June. Please make sure nothing is parked in the yard that day. Let me know about the gutter by the end of this week." EverAsk then worked through 2 steps and replied.

How it works

Three steps. No reading every message twice.

    Your to-do list

    • Tell Tom yes or no on the gutter split by the end of this week.
    • Book a van so Priya can shift the stock Thursday 5 June.

A real example

Five emails about one repair job, and what EverAsk made of them.

The email thread

Roof repair on the shopInbox

  1. TomMon

    Hi Carol, the roof repair on the shop is booked for the week of 9 June. The builders need the back room cleared by Friday 6 June. I'll cover the repair, but the new gutter is £380 and I'd like to split it 50/50.

  2. meMon

    Thanks Tom. Can they work around opening hours, 9 to 5?

  3. TomTue

    They start at 7 and finish by 3, so mornings will be noisy. They'll need the side gate unlocked each day.

  4. PriyaTue

    I can move the stock to the storage unit on Thursday 5 June if someone books the van.

  5. TomWed
    to me

    Also, the scaffolding goes up on Sunday 8 June. Please make sure nothing is parked in the yard that day. Let me know about the gutter by the end of this week.

What EverAsk told Carol

What's agreed

  • Roof repair runs the week of 9 June. Builders work 7am–3pm, so mornings will be noisy.
  • Tom pays for the repair itself.
  • The back room gets cleared before work starts, and the stock is moving to storage.
  • The side gate needs unlocking each day for the builders.
  • Scaffolding goes up Sunday 8 June, so the yard must be empty that day.

Waiting on you

  • Tom still needs your answer on the £380 gutter — he wants 50/50, meaning £190 each.

Your to-do list

  • Tell Tom yes or no on the gutter split by the end of this week.
  • Book a van so Priya can shift the stock Thursday 5 June.
  • Have the back room cleared by Friday 6 June.
  • Arrange side-gate access for the build week.
  • Keep the yard clear of vehicles Sunday 8 June.

The only thing actually blocking anything is the gutter reply — everything else is just logistics to line up.

Ask it anything about your email

Once it has read a thread, ask in your own words, for example:

  • What did we agree about the price?
  • Who is waiting on me?
  • What do I need to do this week?
  • What changed since my last reply?

Common questions

Do I have to copy and paste?

You can, and it works with any email. With Gmail connected, you can also name the conversation and EverAsk reads it for you.

Does it change anything in my inbox?

No. Summarising only reads your email. EverAsk does not send, archive or delete anything unless you turn that on.

How accurate is it?

It works only from the emails in front of it and uses their names, dates and amounts. For anything important, check the summary against the thread.

Can it tell me what I need to do?

Yes. Every summary ends with the things that fall to you and when they are due.

Is my email used to train models?

No. Your mail is used to answer your question and nothing else. You can revoke Gmail access at any time.
