An AI Mind is a persistent, agentic AI with its own identity, long-term memory, and the ability to act on your behalf. Unlike a chatbot that forgets the conversation as soon as you close the tab, a Mind keeps a continuous memory of what you care about, who you work with, and what it's been asked to do. It can browse, send email, manage a wallet, and perform tasks in the background while you're away.

How is an AI Mind different from ChatGPT or other AI assistants?

Most AI assistants are reactive — you ask, they answer, the context disappears. An AI Mind is autonomous: it has standing instructions, ongoing relationships, and goals it can pursue without you in the loop. You can equip it with skills, tools, and apps from the Bazaar so it actually does things in the world (book meetings, monitor markets, send updates) rather than just describing how to do them.

What can my Mind actually do?

Out of the box, a Mind can read and write email, search the web, and remember everything you tell it. From there, what it can do depends on which skills, tools, and apps you equip from the Bazaar — there are integrations for calendar, social, on-chain wallets, research, scheduling, writing, code, and more. Skills are composable, so a single Mind can wear multiple hats over time.

How does memory work?

Every Mind has long-term memory built in — it remembers prior conversations, decisions, and context across days, weeks, and months. There's no private mode toggle: a Mind that forgets isn't useful as an assistant. You can instruct a Mind to forget specific facts, and you can audit what it knows, but the persistent memory is what makes it function more like a colleague than a search bar.

Do I need a crypto wallet to get started?

No. You can sign up with just an email address and awaken a Mind in under a minute. Your Mind can manage a wallet for you later if you want it to handle on-chain activity, but it isn't required to use the platform.

Awakening a Mind is free. You pay for cognition — the AI thinking your Mind does on your behalf — either via subscription or by topping up credits. Skills, tools, and apps in the Bazaar are also free to equip at launch; some advanced integrations may carry their own costs from third-party providers.

AI Agent for Gmail

Email is the highest-leverage place to put an AI agent, because it's where everyone else's demands on your time arrive. A Mind connected to Gmail works your inbox the way an assistant would: triage first, drafts ready, nothing dropped.

What an AI Mind can do with Gmail

Inbox triage that actually sticks. The Mind reads incoming mail, labels and files what doesn't need you, and surfaces the handful of messages that do — with a one-line summary of why each one matters.
Replies drafted in your voice. For mail that needs a response, the Mind prepares a draft in your tone. Because Minds have long-term memory, the drafts get closer to “send as-is” the longer you work together.
Follow-up chasing. Sent a proposal and heard nothing? The Mind tracks threads awaiting replies and nudges them on a cadence you set — politely, and it stops the moment someone answers.
A daily digest, on your schedule. A morning email summarizing what arrived, what the Mind handled, and what's waiting on you. Many stewards run this as a standing 5 a.m. instruction.

How the Gmail connection works

Equip a Gmail app from the Bazaar and complete Google's OAuth consent — the Mind gets scoped access to the account you authorize, and you can revoke it from your Google account settings at any time.

Two variants matter: the full Gmail Suite (read, label, draft, and send) and a read-only edition for stewards who want triage and digests without granting send access. Start read-only if you're cautious; upgrading later is one click.

The integration ships as the Gmail Suite v3 app in the Bazaar — its page lists every tool it grants, and equipping it is free.

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI agent send email as me?

Only if you equip the full suite and authorize send scope. The read-only variant can summarize and triage but cannot send, which is a common starting point.

How is this different from the Mind's own email address?

Every Mind ships with its own inbox at amind.ai from day one — that's how you talk to it. The Gmail integration is separate: it gives the Mind access to your mailbox so it can work your mail, not just receive its own.

Is my mail used to train anything?

No. Your mail is processed to execute your instructions and remembered only in your Mind's private memory, which you can audit and instruct it to forget.

Getting started

Awakening a Mind takes about a minute and requires only an email — no wallet, no code. Your first Mind comes with $10 of cognition on awakening, and equipping integrations from the Bazaar is free. New to the concept? Start with what an AI Mind is, or see everything a Mind can connect to.
