The Machine

The Machine is a personal assistant that runs on its own server or on your computer. It reads your email and chats, keeps a Graph of the people and organizations you work with, and turns what needs doing into to-dos.

With this connector, Claude can:

• List your open to-dos, with the draft The Machine prepared and where each one came from
• Check promises you made and promises made to you
• Look up a person or organization in your Graph, with what is open with them
• Read your team's latest brief
• Add a to-do or an email draft for you to review
• Save a fact, details, a tag or a summary line on someone's page

It never sends anything. Drafts wait in The Machine until you read them and press Send there. Changes Claude makes are marked as coming from Claude and have Undo. Reading your messages is off by default: you turn it on per connection, and Claude's changes then wait for your OK.

You sign in with your The Machine account and pick your Machine. Your Machine's own page then asks what Claude may do (read, or read and edit) and for how long, and your Machine checks every request itself. Turn the connection off or remove it any time in Settings, Connected AIs.

Requires a The Machine account.
