Lindy, Inside Gmail

Open Gmail and Lindy is already working. Your inbox is triaged with color-coded labels, a morning brief tells you what happened overnight, and every email that needs a response has a draft waiting. Everything’s written in your voice and ready to send in one click.

The Chrome extension is currently Gmail only. Outlook is coming soon.

​
Installing the Extension

1

Add Lindy to Chrome

Install the Lindy extension from the Chrome Web Store and pin it to your toolbar.
2

Open Gmail

Head to your Gmail tab. Lindy loads automatically inside the inbox.
3

Connect your account

Sign in with the Lindy account you use at chat.lindy.ai. Your settings, labels, and drafting instructions carry over.

​
What You Get

Triage labels

Every email is sorted and tagged with color-coded label pills before you open your inbox.

Morning brief

A daily card at the top of Gmail recaps what Lindy handled overnight.

Draft replies

Pre-written responses in your voice, with quick-action buttons to send in one click.

Compose bar

Rewrite, schedule, or ask Lindy anything right from the reply window.

Label learning

Lindy learns from how you re-label emails and gets better over time.

Sidebar chat

A floating or docked panel to chat with Lindy without leaving Gmail.

​
Triage Labels

Lindy reads every incoming email and assigns it to the right category, shown as color-coded label pills right in your inbox list. Important messages stay front and center. Everything else gets filed away.

Your labels and categories are shared with your main Lindy settings, so anything you set up at chat.lindy.ai shows up in the extension too.
Want to fine-tune your categories? See Email Triage for how labeling works and how to add your own.

​
Draft Replies

Lindy drafts replies automatically, even if you don’t have the Chrome extension installed. Open an email that needs a response, and your draft is already there, written in your voice. The Chrome extension lets you refine that draft without leaving Gmail. Use Quick actions like Let’s meet, Need time, or Not interested, or simply ask Lindy to make changes. The draft updates instantly, right where you’re working. Review, edit, or send - nothing is ever sent without your approval.
Drafting works with or without the Chrome extension. The extension simply makes editing faster by letting you adjust tone, choose a quick action, or request changes directly inside the draft.

Drafts use the same drafting instructions as the rest of Lindy. See Email Drafting to tune your tone, length, and sign-offs.

​
Compose Bar

Lindy replaces Gmail’s “Help me write” compose tool with an input that actually knows your context. From the reply window you can:
  • Rewrite: reshape a draft to be shorter, warmer, or more direct
  • Schedule: turn an email thread into a meeting
  • Ask anything: type a request and Lindy handles it inline
Just type into the compose bar (“Schedule, rewrite, or ask Lindy anything…”) and Lindy takes it from there.

​
Label Learning

When you re-label an email, Lindy notices. A toast confirms it learned from the change (“Lindy learnt from your label”), and future emails get sorted accordingly. Teach Lindy once, and it remembers.

  • Voice input: speak instead of type
  • File attachments: bring in documents for Lindy to work with
  • Model selector: choose the model behind your chat
