What they did
User arpans asked their dot to scan their personal inbox for emails that had "fallen through the cracks."
How it went
The dot returned a list that included documents the user should have passed on to their CPA, plus several smaller opportunities for following up on appointments and home vendors. The author reported feeling "overwhelming surprise, relief, and joy."
Worth knowing
The source does not specify how email access is authorized (OAuth / IMAP / app password) or which provider is used; it also does not mention dots subscription tier, cost, or privacy handling, nor whether follow-up actions like one-click to-do creation or email forwarding are available. This site has not independently tested the feature.
