Email the Agent

Last updated October 28, 2026

You don't have to open the app to give Classgrid AI a job. Send an email to agent@classgrid.in from the email address on your account, and the agent starts working on it in the background. The agent can also send emails, with files attached, when you ask it to in chat.

Start a task by email

Open your normal email app.
Write to agent@classgrid.in from the same email address you use to sign in to Classgrid AI.
Describe what you want in plain words. Attach any files the agent needs.
Send it.

The inbox is checked about every 45 seconds. You get a short automatic reply, and the agent works on your request as a background task. See Long tasks for how background work runs.

Only emails sent from the address registered on your Classgrid AI account are linked to you. If you write from a different address, the agent can't tell it is you and won't start a task for your account.

Good emails to send

"Turn the attached PDF into a one-page summary with the key points."
"Draft a one-page project proposal for a bakery website and send it back as a PDF."
"Clean up the attached spreadsheet and make a chart of monthly sales."

Your attachments

Files attached to your email are passed to the agent, so it can read them just like files you upload in chat. See Files and documents.

Where the task shows up

A task started by email is created as a project in Project Mode, so you can find its chat there. See Project Mode.

Add more to a running task

If the agent is already working on something for you, another email from your registered address adds to that task instead of starting over. Use it to send extra details, a missing file or a change of plan.

You can also add details on WhatsApp while a task is running. See Long tasks.

Let the agent send emails for you

In any Agent mode chat, you can ask the agent to send an email. It sends it from agent@classgrid.in, and it can attach files it made or files you gave it.

Examples:

"Make this report a PDF and email it to priya@example.com."
"Email the meeting notes to me with the slides attached."
"Send the client proposal as a PDF to my email."

What you want	What to ask
Send a file to yourself	"Email me the PDF."
Send a file to someone else	"Email this PDF to name@example.com with a short note."
Make a document and send it	"Write a proposal, turn it into a PDF and email it to the client at name@example.com."

Emails the agent sends come from agent@classgrid.in, not from your own address. If you want an email to go from your own Gmail or Outlook, connect that app first and ask the agent to use it. See Connect and disconnect apps.

Good to know

agent@classgrid.in is Classgrid's agent address for everyone. Your account is matched by the address you send from, so always use your registered email.
Email tasks use your AI credits, like any other chat. See Credits and top-ups.
Background tasks stop after 48 hours if they are not finished.
