What Word.now does

Three things that change how Outlook feels

We sort every Outlook email automatically

Word.now reads each incoming email and applies Outlook color categories - To Respond, FYI, Notification, and Marketing - Directly to your messages in Outlook. Unlike Focused Inbox, which only separates Focused and Other, Word.now gives you four distinct categories across your full inbox so you can see exactly what type of attention each email needs before you open it.

We draft replies that save to Outlook

Word.now learns your writing style from your Sent Items, then drafts a reply and saves it directly to your Outlook Drafts folder. Open Outlook, review, and send - The whole flow stays inside the tools you already use. How AI reply drafts work →

Outlook assistant questions

Yes - Word.now works with any account that can authenticate via Microsoft OAuth, including @outlook.com personal accounts, @hotmail.com, and Microsoft 365 business accounts. For M365 business accounts, your IT admin may need to approve the app if your organization restricts third-party OAuth. Word.now does not require Exchange admin access.
Word.now requests Mail.ReadWrite (to read inbox emails and save draft replies), and optionally Calendars.ReadWrite (to create calendar events for bookings). It does not request permission to send email - All drafts must be reviewed and sent by you. You can revoke access at any time from account.microsoft.com.
Yes - You can connect both Gmail and Outlook to the same Word.now account. The inbox view shows both inboxes in one place. Your reply identity (writing style) applies to drafts for both providers. Scheduling bookings can sync to both Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar simultaneously. If you primarily use Gmail, see the AI Gmail assistant page. If you use another provider, see custom email setup.
Focused Inbox separates emails into "Focused" and "Other" based on sender signals and engagement history. Word.now reads the full content of each email and classifies it into 7 specific categories using a language model - Producing more accurate triage, especially for emails requiring a reply versus informational ones. Word.now also generates the reply draft itself, which Focused Inbox cannot do.
No. Word.now is a separate product that connects to Outlook via the standard Microsoft Graph API. It does not use or require a Copilot license. The free plan covers AI email sorting and draft generation with no additional Microsoft subscription needed. You can also try the free email reply generator without connecting your account.
