Auto-send
Features

Auto-send

Let DUGGAI ship replies on your behalf — with the controls to keep the safety on for everything else.

Off by default
Auto-send is disabled until you turn it on. Until then, every draft requires your approval in the Approval Deck.

How it works

With auto-send enabled, DUGGAI drafts a reply and queues it for sending after a short cooldown (default 60 seconds). During the cooldown, the draft is fully editable. After the cooldown, the reply ships from your Gmail account and lands in the recipient's inbox.

Three modes

Per-contact (recommended)

Auto-send only fires for contacts you've specifically added. Best for when you want speed for routine work mail but caution for everything else. Add contacts from the Approval Deck (the Sources panel has a quick-add button) or from Settings → Auto-send.

All contacts

Auto-send fires for every reply DUGGAI drafts. High-throughput, high-trust mode. Recommended only after a week or two of running per-contact and confirming the model nails your tone.

All except excluded

Auto-send fires for everyone except specific contacts you've excluded. The middle path: power for the bulk of your mail, manual approval for the people who matter most.

The audit log

Every auto-sent reply lands in your Sent folder with an Auto-sent badge. The audit log in Settings → Auto-send shows everything that shipped, when, and to whom — so nothing leaves silently.

Custom rules

Free-text AI rules let you constrain auto-send behavior. Examples:

  • "Never auto-send if the reply contains a price commitment."
  • "Auto-send only for ‘sounds good’ type acknowledgments."
  • "Always require approval if the thread mentions legal or contracts."

DUGGAI checks each draft against your rules before the cooldown expires. If a rule triggers, the draft falls back to manual approval.

Stopping a send

During the cooldown, click Cancelon the draft. After it ships, you can recall via Gmail's standard recall window (up to 30 seconds). Past that, the reply is out — same rules as any email.

Walk before you run
Most users start with per-contact for a week, then graduate to all-except-excluded. Few people use full all-contacts auto-send — and that's fine. The point isn't to automate everything, it's to automate the right things.
