Yora + Gmail, AI that actually reads your inbox and remembers who matters

The short answer

Yora connects to Gmail via Google OAuth. When you ask, Yora pulls the specific threads that answer your question, drafts replies in your voice, and surfaces who is still waiting on you. Nothing happens behind your back.

What Yora does with Gmail

Summarizes recent emails on demand. Ask "what did Ahmed say about the Q3 numbers" and Yora opens that thread. Yora does not scan your inbox in the background.

Drafts replies in your voice. Yora writes the draft, you confirm before anything sends. Every send is one explicit action.

Reads the threads you point at. Pre-meeting context, follow-up reminders, attachment summaries (PDFs and docs). Yora picks up what is relevant when you ask, then forgets the rest.

Builds a contact graph. Names, companies, recent context. Used to answer "who emailed me that I haven't replied to yet."

Threads replies correctly. Yora sets the In-Reply-To header so your responses land in the same conversation, not as orphan messages.

What Yora accesses

Google OAuth scopes Yora requests on Gmail:

• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly — read message metadata and bodies you ask Yora to summarize
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send — send the drafts you approve
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify — apply labels you ask Yora to apply (optional)

You can review and revoke these from your Google Account at myaccount.google.com/permissions at any time.

What Yora never does

• Yora does not train AI models on your email content. Ever.
• Yora does not read your inbox automatically. Reads happen when you ask a question or open a thread.
• Yora does not send messages without your confirmation. Every send is explicit.
• Yora does not sell or share your Gmail data with third parties.
• Yora does not use your Gmail data for advertising or analytics.

Google API Limited Use disclosure

Yora's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Status

Live. This is one of the first integrations Yora shipped and the most-used.

How to connect

1. Sign in to Yora 2. Settings → Integrations → Gmail → Connect 3. Grant the scopes above in Google's OAuth screen 4. Yora runs an initial sync in about two minutes for a typical inbox

How to disconnect

Settings → Integrations → Gmail → Disconnect. Yora revokes the OAuth tokens with Google, deletes them from our database, and clears the integration cache within minutes. You can also revoke the grant directly from your Google Account at any time.

Data and storage

• Where tokens live. OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest in Supabase (EU region), row-level-secured to your user ID.
• Cache. Recent message metadata is cached for 30 to 60 minutes for speed. Cleared on disconnect.
• Memories. Facts Yora extracts (a person, a commitment, a deadline you mentioned) persist in your private memory until you delete them. Email bodies themselves are not stored long-term.

What you can ask with Gmail connected

• "What did Ahmed email about last week."
• "Who emailed me that I haven't replied to yet."
• "Draft a reply to Noura confirming Tuesday."
• "Summarize my inbox from overnight."

Example Pulse using Gmail

"Noura replied at 11pm asking for the revised SOW by Wednesday. The previous draft is in Drive. Want me to open it and prep a reply."
