# Chrome Extension > Lindy runs inside Gmail. Triaged inbox, a morning brief, drafted replies, and a sidebar chat, all without leaving your tab. ## Lindy, Inside Gmail Open Gmail and Lindy is already working. Your inbox is triaged with color-coded labels, a morning brief tells you what happened overnight, and every email that needs a response has a draft waiting. Everything’s written in your voice and ready to send in one click. NOTE: **Your personal Lindy** — the extension works your own inbox, in your own voice. Nothing here is shared with your team. The Lindy your team shares lives in [Slack channels](https://www.lindy.ai/docs/teammate/slack-commands). ![Lindy's new tab dashboard: a greeting, a chat bar, quick-action cards, upcoming meetings, and a daily activity summary](https://www.lindy.ai/_sherpa/assets/static/docs/eb34e703f016-new-tab.png) NOTE: The Chrome extension is currently **Gmail only**. Outlook is coming soon. ## Installing the Extension ### Add Lindy to Chrome Install the Lindy extension from the Chrome Web Store and pin it to your toolbar. ### Open Gmail Head to your Gmail tab. Lindy loads automatically inside the inbox. ### Connect your account Sign in with the Lindy account you use at [chat.lindy.ai](https://chat.lindy.ai). Your settings, labels, and drafting instructions carry over. ## What You Get ### Triage labels Every email is sorted and tagged with color-coded label pills before you open your inbox. ### Morning brief A daily card at the top of Gmail recaps what Lindy handled overnight. ### Draft replies Pre-written responses in your voice, with quick-action buttons to send in one click. ### Compose bar Rewrite, schedule, or ask Lindy anything right from the reply window. ### Label learning Lindy learns from how you re-label emails and gets better over time. ### Sidebar chat A floating or docked panel to chat with Lindy without leaving Gmail. ## Triage Labels Lindy reads every incoming email and assigns it to the right category, shown as color-coded label pills right in your inbox list. Important messages stay front and center. Everything else gets filed away. ![A Gmail inbox list with color-coded Lindy label pills: Calendar, FYI, To Respond, Comments, and Promotions](https://www.lindy.ai/_sherpa/assets/static/docs/cd0cb2db50de-labels.png) Your labels and categories are shared with your main Lindy settings, so anything you set up at [chat.lindy.ai](https://chat.lindy.ai) shows up in the extension too. TIP: Want to fine-tune your categories? See [Email Triage](https://www.lindy.ai/docs/features/inbox-management/email-triage) for how labeling works and how to add your own. ## Draft Replies Lindy drafts replies automatically, even if you don’t have the Chrome extension installed. Open an email that needs a response, and your draft is already there, written in your voice. The Chrome extension lets you refine that draft without leaving Gmail. Use **Quick actions** like **Let’s meet**, **Need time**, or **Not interested**, or simply ask Lindy to make changes. The draft updates instantly, right where you’re working. Review, edit, or send - nothing is ever sent without your approval. NOTE: Drafting works with or without the Chrome extension. The extension simply makes editing faster by letting you adjust tone, choose a quick action, or request changes directly inside the draft. ![A drafted reply in Gmail with quick-action buttons (Let's meet, Need time, Not interested) and the Lindy compose bar](https://www.lindy.ai/_sherpa/assets/static/docs/d630bdd86121-draft-replies.png) TIP: Drafts use the same drafting instructions as the rest of Lindy. See [Email Drafting](https://www.lindy.ai/docs/features/inbox-management/email-drafting) to tune your tone, length, and sign-offs. ## Compose Bar Lindy replaces Gmail’s “Help me write” compose tool with an input that actually knows your context. From the reply window you can: - **Rewrite**: reshape a draft to be shorter, warmer, or more direct - **Schedule**: turn an email thread into a meeting - **Ask anything**: type a request and Lindy handles it inline Just type into the compose bar (*“Schedule, rewrite, or ask Lindy anything…”*) and Lindy takes it from there. ![The Lindy compose bar with a typed request: 'Make it shorter and offer Thursday at 2.'](https://www.lindy.ai/_sherpa/assets/static/docs/14c7a24838e1-compose-bar.png) ## Label Learning When you re-label an email, Lindy notices. A toast confirms it learned from the change (*“Lindy learnt from your label”*), and future emails get sorted accordingly. Teach Lindy once, and it remembers. ![An inbox row with a 'To Respond' label and a tooltip: 'Teach Lindy by changing this label'](https://www.lindy.ai/_sherpa/assets/static/docs/4eeb19f87883-label-learning.png) ## Sidebar Chat A Lindy chat panel lives inside Gmail, floating or docked to the side. Ask Lindy anything without switching tabs. The sidebar supports: - **Voice input**: speak instead of type - **File attachments**: bring in documents for Lindy to work with - **Model selector**: choose the model behind your chat ![The Lindy sidebar chat panel inside Gmail, with a conversation and a task input bar with voice, attachments, and a model selector](https://www.lindy.ai/_sherpa/assets/static/docs/ce0c905c6b95-sidebar-chat.png) ## Security Lindy is **SOC 2 Type II**, **GDPR**, and **HIPAA** compliant.
