Keep for every draft#

When you type your brokerage, phone number, or business name into a blank on an email draft, the card offers Keep for every draft.

  • On your computer
  • From your phone
  • Since 0.3.9
Where it is
On an email draft card, after you fill in a blank with Edit it.
How to use it
  1. Press Edit it on the draft and fill in the blank.
  2. Press Keep for every draft.
From your phone
Archie Mobile shows the card's words and buttons. A chat app with no buttons takes the typed words.
Limits
  • Email cards only. Text drafts are never filled.
  • If you changed the words around the blank too, no button appears.
  • Only on your own email address.

Stop watching your inbox#

When your agent starts reading your mail, it says in the chat which inboxes it reads and how often, with a Stop watching button.

  • On your computer
  • From your phone
  • Since 0.3.9
Where it is
In your agent's chat. The switch it turns off is Watch my inbox, on the agent's Skills tab, under Email Manager.
How to use it
  1. Press Stop watching under the message, or switch off Watch my inbox under Email Manager on the Skills tab.
From your phone
It arrives in your conversation like any message, so it also shows on Archie Mobile or your chat app.
Limits
  • It says so once per agent. Switching the watch off and on again does not repeat it.
  • Only the owner can stop it from the button.
  • Not on the free credits or a plan with the AI included, where your mail is not read.

Mail from people you write to comes first#

Mail from someone you wrote to in the last two weeks is read at once; other mail can wait a few minutes, which lowers what your AI account is charged.

  • On your computer
  • Since 0.3.9
Limits
  • It knows one thing: whether you wrote to the sender in the last 14 days.
  • Replies from Archie's cards count on any account, and Gmail's Sent copies count. A reply sent from Outlook or another mail app is not seen.
  • The addresses you wrote to are kept on your computer and in backups you make.
  • Only on an AI account of your own with Anthropic.

Blanks in a draft#

Your agent leaves a blank in square brackets, like [her school], for a detail nobody gave, and an email or text with a blank in it will not send.

  • On your computer
  • From your phone
  • Since 0.3.8
Where it is
On an email or text card. Press Send and Archie names the blank. Edit it is on the card.
How to use it
  1. Press Edit it on the card.
  2. Fill in what goes in the brackets.
  3. Press Send.
From your phone
Archie Mobile's Send gives the same answer and puts the buttons back. On a chat app with no buttons, reply "edit it".
Limits
  • Leaving a blank is an instruction to the AI, and it can still write a guess as if it were known.
  • Any short words in brackets count, so a [sic] holds Send too. Brackets in your current signature do not.
  • On a card waiting for its time, press Back to draft first, then Edit it.
  • A message written into the chat for you to copy, or one through a connected CRM, is not checked.

Check before sending#

On an email your agent drafts in chat, a price, a day, or a time that nobody gave it is listed under the draft for you to check.

  • On your computer
  • From your phone
  • Since 0.3.9
Where it is
Under the draft on an email card.
How to use it
  1. Press Take out what you added to have Archie rewrite the draft without them.
From your phone
Archie Mobile shows the card's own words, the list included.
Limits
  • Code reads amounts, days, times, stock excuses like "something has come up on our end", and a few kinds of promise. Anything else is listed only when your agent names it.
  • It lists them. It does not stop Send.
  • Not on texts, and not on drafts the mail watch writes when mail arrives.
  • A number that appears anywhere in what you gave counts as given, and editing the card's words clears the list.

First text to a lead#

Ask your agent to text a lead, and it writes the text, says whether they agreed to texts, and puts a button under it so you can send it yourself.

  • On your computer
  • From your phone
  • Since 0.3.9
Where it is
Under your agent's reply in Chat: Copy the text.
How to use it
  1. Ask your agent to text a lead by name.
  2. Press Copy the text, or Open in Messages on your phone.
  3. Press Send in Messages yourself.
From your phone
Archie Mobile shows Open in Messages, which opens Messages to their number with the words typed in. A chat app gets the words and no button.
Limits
  • Archie sends no text. You press Send on your own phone.
  • It reads what the Texting column says, which someone wrote down. It does not enforce consent.
  • Only where a list keeps a Texting column, which today is the real estate setup's People.
  • If they said stop, it writes no text.

A sent draft says it went#

Your agent's own words are never changed. When you press Send on an email it drafted, Archie says it went under the message that came with the draft: "Sent to Ace Septic at 8:01am."

  • On your computer
  • From your phone
  • Since 0.3.11
Where it is
Under your agent's message, in your chat with it.
From your phone
On an iPhone, Archie Mobile shows the same line under the message.
Limits
  • It says Archie sent it. It does not say it arrived or was read.
  • Email drafts shown in the chat only. A text draft, a draft the mail watch wrote on its own, and a catch-up list get no such line.
  • On Telegram, Slack, Discord and Matrix it comes as a short message of its own, which can make your phone buzz on all but Telegram. Signal and iMessage get no extra line.
  • Your agent is told a reply went out when you pressed or typed Send, and is not told when one went at a time you set.
