This feature seamlessly incorporates the ability to send email to third parties into interactions with your Olympia assistant. The experience is interactive and efficient, and we assure you that using it feels very futuristic. Many recipients don’t even notice that they’re corresponding with an AI entity.
Olympia assistants can now prepare and send emails on your behalf. Just prompt them, providing details such as the recipient's address, the subject, and the content of the email.

Vika is in the account address book, so Obie did not have to specify her email address. Use of the address book is described below.
You can specify To, CC, and BCC recipients at your discretion, all are supported. Multiple recipients for each kind is also supported.

Emails are sent as from your assistant, who has an assigned unique email address. However, we don’t yet support inbound email processing by assistants so the Reply-to header is set to your email address. This means that while recipients see emails as coming from your assistant, if they hit reply the message will go directly to your inbox (not the Olympia assistant).
Inbound email processing is expected to roll out in early 2024.
By default, when you ask an assistant to send an email, you will see a draft pop up in your conversation stream. It’s easy to edit the subject or body, just click into those areas of the draft and type away to your heart’s content. Changes automatically save as they’re made.
Unfortunately you cannot add more recipients, or edit them in place at this time, but you can remove them. Just click on the dropdown menu and choose Delete.
Trusted recipients can be set to receive emails without needing revision and approval, by setting them to “auto send”. Recipients set to auto send appear green.

When you instruct your assistant to send an email and all intended recipients are set to auto send, the email will be sent automatically. The inclusion of any non-auto send recipient will cause the email to enter draft status first and require manual sending.
When you’re happy with a draft you can approve sending and it will be queued for delivery immediately. Just hit the blue send button.
