Gmail and Google Calendar

Connect Gmail and Google Calendar so Dvina can read your mail and schedule, prepare replies and plans, and act only with your approval.

Connect Gmail and Google Calendar to let Dvina work from your real inbox and schedule. Dvina can answer questions about your mail and meetings, notice what changes and prepare what comes next.

What Dvina can do

With Gmail

  • Find and read your email and conversation history, and answer questions about them.
  • Summarize what came in, like "Summarize today's Gmail" or "What needs me in Gmail?"
  • Draft replies for you to review.
  • Send email, after you approve it.
  • Tell you when a new email matters, with one short card instead of a pile of notifications.

When you add a saved email to your Library, as an .eml or .msg file, each of its attachments, like a PDF or a spreadsheet, becomes a document of its own in the same folder. Dvina reads them like any file you add, so you can find them and ask about them. Images inside the email, like a logo in a signature, are left out.

With Google Calendar

  • Read your events and availability, and answer questions like "When's my next call with Sarah?"
  • Help you plan meetings and keep your schedule organized.
  • Add or change events, after you approve it.
  • Tell you when an event is updated.

Because Dvina sees your mail, your calendar and your chats together, it can connect them. For example, it can bring together something you said in a chat, an email that just arrived and the meeting on your calendar, and have the next step ready before the meeting.

Permissions

Dvina reads Gmail and Google Calendar freely, so it can answer and prepare work. Anything that changes something waits for you:

  • Reading: Searching and reading your email, threads and events runs without asking.
  • Writing: Creating or changing something, like a draft or an event, shows an approval card first. You choose Allow or Reject.
  • Sending and deleting: Sending an email to someone and deleting for good ask every time. Their card says so, for example Sends, asks every time, and doesn't offer Always allow.

If you connected more than one Google account, the approval card shows which one Dvina uses, for example From: and the account.

Important

Nothing goes to another person or is deleted for good until you choose Allow.

How to connect

  1. Open Settings and choose Apps.
  2. Choose Browse Apps…, then find Gmail or Google Calendar.
  3. Choose Connect.
  4. Sign in with your Google account and allow access.
  5. When Dvina says the app is connected, you're done. Repeat for the other app.

You can also connect both during setup, in the Apps step.

To add a second Google account, like a work account, go to Settings › Apps, choose the app, then choose Add Account…. Use Rename to name each account and Make Default to pick the one Dvina uses first.

Tip

To choose which changes Dvina tells you about, open the app's page in Apps and choose Notifications. To stop Dvina from noticing what happens in the app, turn off Dvina notices what happens in Gmail on the same page.

Privacy

  • What you connect is never used to train AI models.
  • Only what your request needs is read.
  • Personal details like card numbers and addresses are masked before the AI sees them.
  • Your data is encrypted in transit.

Disconnect

  1. Open Apps in your Library and choose Gmail or Google Calendar.
  2. Choose Disconnect Gmail or Disconnect Google Calendar, then choose Disconnect to confirm.

Dvina stops reading from that app. What it already brought in stays, and you can connect it again any time. To disconnect one Google account and keep the others, go to Settings › Apps, choose the app, and choose Disconnect from that account's menu.
