Have an agent draft Gmail mail, then ask before sending
Perplexity Comet composed and dispatched an SEO email from Gmail, but the message landed with formatting problems.
- What they did
- Julian Goldie connected his Gmail account in the Comet browser and instructed it to prepare a message to his own address on SEO strategy. The agent generated the subject and text in about 5 seconds, then sent it straight from his mailbox without waiting for him to inspect the draft or click send.
- How it went
- The message showed up in his inbox, but the body used markdown, so the appearance was off. He says switching to HTML formatting solves that issue.
- Tips
- For anything sensitive, make the agent stop at a draft and wait for your approval. It is especially worth checking client messages for formatting and tone before they go out.
