Dot

Stand-in

Drafts replies to small routine emails using your calendar and files.

Overview

Stand-in is a Dot that handles the short admin emails that pile up, such as turning down an invite, confirming a date, replying to a vendor or bookkeeper, or sending a document. Each morning it finds these, looks up the details in your calendar and files, and drafts each reply in your voice. When it can't find a fact, it lists what is missing. It needs your approval to send anything and is blocked from agreeing to new commitments or payments.
