Your first 24 hours
A timeline of what DUGGAI does after you connect Gmail — so you know what's normal and what isn't.
The first 5 minutes
DUGGAI pulls your most recent inbox (around 50 threads) and runs them through Smart Inbox classification. You'll see threads tagged To Respond, FYI, Marketing, Notifications, and a few sub-categories. Anything that needs a reply enters the drafting queue.
The first hour
Drafts appear in your Approval Deck. Early drafts are often a bit stiff — DUGGAI hasn't seen enough of your sent mail yet to fully nail your voice. Don't be precious: edit the ones that feel off, approve the ones that don't. Both signals matter.
The first day
DUGGAI ingests up to your last 30 days of sent mail in the background to build a style profile. By the end of day one:
- Tone matching is noticeably better — drafts read more like you wrote them.
- Smart Inbox labels feel more accurate as the model adjusts to your patterns.
- You've probably found 2–3 contact-specific quirks (formal with one client, terse with another) that you can encode as per-contact rules.
What if it feels off?
If drafts still don't sound like you after a day of edits, two things usually fix it:
- Connect more context (Notion, Slack, Calendar) so DUGGAI has the facts it needs to draft confidently. See Connected apps.
- Add a short style note in Settings → Style — e.g. "Always sign off with thanks, never use exclamation marks."
What's normal in week one
- The first marketing-heavy newsletter that's still labeled To Respond. Re-label it once and DUGGAI will learn.
- A draft that quotes the wrong meeting time. Connect Calendar so it can read your availability.
- A draft to your spouse that's suddenly very formal. Add them to the "informal" rules.
After a week of normal use, most accounts settle into a rhythm where 60–80% of drafts ship with no edits. Power users with auto-send dialed in handle most of their inbox in under 10 minutes a day.
