What This Skill Does

gmail-ai for OpenClaw transforms your inbox into an intelligent, actionable workspace. By integrating IMAP/SMTP capabilities with OpenRouter’s powerful AI models, this skill handles the heavy lifting of email management. It goes beyond simple fetching by offering AI-powered triage that sorts emails into categories like Urgent, Actionable, FYI, and Spam, alongside a 0-100 priority scoring system that identifies what truly matters. Whether you need a quick TL;DR of a lengthy email thread or a professionally crafted reply based on your specific requirements, gmail-ai ensures you spend less time managing messages and more time acting on them.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw CLI:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aiwithabidi/gmail-ai

Ensure you have configured the following environment variables:

• GMAIL_ADDRESS: Your email account.
• GMAIL_APP_PASSWORD: A unique app password generated via your Google Account security settings.
• OPENROUTER_API_KEY: Required to enable AI summarization, triage, and smart replies.

Use Cases

• Inbox Zero Mastery: Automatically filter the noise and focus only on high-priority items.
• Executive Summarization: Generate instant briefings for long email chains to keep project stakeholders informed without reading every message.
• Automated Communication: Scale your response time by using AI-drafted replies in various tones (professional, friendly, or brief).
• Urgency Filtering: Never miss a time-sensitive request by using the priority scoring feature to highlight deadlines.

Example Prompts

1. "Check my inbox for urgent messages and summarize the three most important ones for me."
2. "Look for an email from my boss, give me a professional reply acknowledging the deadline, and send it."
3. "Triage my current inbox and create a list of actionable items based on the latest 20 emails."

Tips & Limitations

• Security: Always use a dedicated Gmail App Password rather than your primary Google password.
• Context: While the AI is highly capable, always review drafts generated by the reply command before hitting send to ensure the tone matches your specific intent.
• Rate Limits: AI-powered features rely on external API calls; ensure your OpenRouter credits are active.
• Scope: The skill is designed for standard IMAP/SMTP workflows; complex folder structures or legacy filter settings in Gmail may occasionally impact categorization accuracy.
