I asked for a draft in a file. The AI put it in Gmail.

He asked the AI to help draft an email and expected a local markdown file. Because he had connected Gmail through MCP at some point, the AI searched his mail, found the right thread, and created the draft inside Gmail.

How it works

  1. Asks the AI to help draft an email
  2. The AI uses his Gmail connection from MCP
  3. It searches his mail and finds the right thread
  4. It creates the draft inside Gmail

Why it’s worth knowing

He asked for a text file. The AI went into his real inbox, found the thread, and drafted the reply where it belonged.
