Useful before you ask
Sentience goes through your connected sources, shows you what needs your attention and drafts email replies in your voice. It gets to know your interests and brings you things worth exploring too: an exhibition to apply for, useful reading or a question that makes you stop and think. You can ask directly, set a routine or get suggestions before you ask.
See what needs your attention
Sentience goes through your connected sources to find messages that matter to you and need a response. It brings them to your attention with email replies drafted in your voice. Suggested replies, follow-ups and next steps appear on Home, ready for you to review and act on.
Find things you would actually care about
For one artist, Sentience researched exhibitions that fit her work and brought submission deadlines into view. For a scientist who enjoyed Connections, it linked that interest with protein research and suggested a game about untangling and redesigning proteins.
Your interests give Sentience somewhere to start. It can bring you reading, opportunities and connections worth exploring alongside meeting briefs, digests and follow-ups.
Make room to stop and think
One designer found that her Sentience asked questions that made her pause and reflect on her life. She had been busy enough to forget to make that space herself.
Bring an idea or question you are working through. Your Sentience can draw on earlier conversations and what matters to you to help you examine it.
Remember where you left off
Sentience can brief you before a meeting using your connected work. Earlier conversations and commitments come back into view while there is still time to prepare. Spend your preparation time deciding what to ask.
Keep up between meetings
Daily digests help you catch up on the day. Suggested actions bring replies and follow-ups to you without waiting for a new prompt.
You can also set a routine for a task you want on a schedule, such as a weekly review of unanswered messages and open commitments.
Get the follow-up started
Sentience can surface a suggested reply from your conversations and what you agreed. It uses your written voice. Review the draft, edit it if needed and choose whether to send it. You can also ask for a draft whenever you need one.
In Recall #6, a beta user described Sentience drafting a support email from a Slack conversation with their cofounder. It also found the support address they had struggled to find in Gmail.
Start the morning caught up
Pat T uses Echo, his Sentience, to get a rundown from email and calendar over coffee. Anna Levitt uses hers to catch up, think through decisions and draft emails.

Frequently asked questions
What will Sentience bring me without a prompt?
Important messages, suggested email replies, meeting briefs and daily digests. It can also bring you reading, opportunities and connections that fit your interests. These suggestions give you something concrete to review, explore or act on when you open Sentience.
How does it know what matters to me?
Your connected conversations, interests and the priorities you share give Sentience something to go on. Tell it what you are trying to do, which people or projects matter and what you want to explore. It can use that understanding to make its suggestions relevant to you.
Will it send an email just because it drafted one?
A suggested reply is a draft for you to review. You can change it and choose to send it. Sentience also supports sending messages, with approval requirements controlled by your settings, so you can choose which actions need your sign-off.
