Prompts by profession
The right Gmail question depends on the inbox: moms triage school and family mail, restaurant owners sort supplier emails and reviews, plumbers catch job requests and invoices. Each prompt below is copy-ready and tuned to that inbox — paste it into Muse, adjust the timeframe in brackets, and keep it to drafts until you trust it.
Mom
Scan this week's school emails — pull every date, form, and fee into one list sorted by deadline. Draft a reply to the teacher (find their name and email from the school emails first — if it's unclear which teacher, ask me), don't send.
Restaurant owner
Find all supplier invoices in Gmail from the last 30 days, total them by vendor, and flag any vendor whose prices rose more than 5% versus the prior 30 days. Show the math.
Plumber
Summarize today's quote requests into name, address, problem, urgency. Draft one reply template I can reuse for all of them.
Check it worked
A working Gmail connection means Muse answers from your real inbox — sender names and subjects you recognize — instead of asking you to connect or giving generic advice. Run the three checks below right after pasting the prompt; each takes seconds, and a miss tells you exactly which step to redo.
- 1Paste the prompt — Muse should summarize real senders and subjects from your inbox within a minute.
- 2Open Gmail and confirm one draft exists as a draft, not a sent message. Drafts-only means nothing goes out.
- 3If Muse can’t see new mail, go to Muse → Connectors → Gmail → Reconnect and re-approve access.

Frequently asked questions about Gmail and Muse
Before connecting Gmail, most people ask the same three things: is it safe to link your email, what Muse can read and send, and how to undo it. Per the page, starting read-only with drafts-only means Muse summarizes and drafts without sending, and disconnecting takes about ten seconds from Muse → Connectors.
- Is it safe to connect Gmail to Muse?
- Access goes through Google’s own OAuth screen, so Muse never sees your Gmail password. The setup on this page says to start read-only and approve sending only when you are ready.
- What can Muse do with Gmail?
- It can summarize your inbox, find receipts, and draft replies. Anything that actually sends waits for your approval — the prompts here all say to draft, not send.
- How do I disconnect Gmail from Muse?
- Go to Muse → Connectors → Gmail → Disconnect. You can reconnect later by repeating the setup steps above.
