Handle schedule and email questions from one familiar conversation.

Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.

Let a person ask about upcoming events or relevant mail in an approved conversation and prepare a helpful answer from the connected work information. For requests to schedule a meeting or send a message, show the exact details and wait for an authorized person to confirm the calendar change or approve the final text and recipient.

Clarify whether the person wants an event lookup, an email lookup, a new meeting, or a message prepared.

Proposed setup considerations

These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.

01
Choose approved chat participants and work accounts
Define who may use the assistant and which calendars and mailboxes are within scope.
02
Set privacy and information boundaries
Limit information to the request, restrict account access, and avoid exposing private correspondence in group conversations.
03
Define calendar and email approval rules
Name who can confirm events and require sender approval of the exact wording and recipients for every outbound message.
04
Test lookups, changes, and ambiguous requests
Check private event details, unavailable times, incomplete recipients, and unclear messages; confirm consequential actions wait for a person.
