Mail is read on request, never in the background.
How can email access stay controlled?
Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) is a screen-aware desktop AI assistant that reads work email only when invoked. Each Jarvis connector action can be set to Always allow, Ask before running, or Blocked, so reading and sending are separate. Gmail and Outlook connect through scoped OAuth, tokens use AES-256-GCM, and Jarvis does not train on prompts, screenshots, email, or connector data. You invoke screen reading with Cmd+/ or Ctrl+/ before it accesses the view. It connects to Gmail and Outlook via OAuth with scoped permissions, encrypts tokens with AES-256-GCM, and is GDPR-aligned, aligned with GDPR and the EU AI Act. Crucially, it never trains on your prompts, screenshots, email, or connector data. Every action that writes, sending a reply, creating a task, is confirm-first. The models, frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, only process requests in the moment. Free to start, then $16/month.

A common fear is that an AI assistant constantly reads your inbox. Jarvis does not; it only looks at the screen when you press the hotkey and ask for something. There is no background crawler ingesting your whole mailbox. This invoke-only model means sensitive emails you never act on are never seen by the assistant, giving you a clear mental boundary around what the AI has access to and when.
Connector credentials are the crown jewels, so Jarvis encrypts OAuth tokens for Gmail, Outlook, and every app with AES-256-GCM. Infrastructure is GDPR-aligned, aligned with GDPR and the EU AI Act, which matters for European companies with data-residency requirements. Most importantly, Jarvis never uses your prompts, screenshots, email content, persistent memory, or connector data to train any model, so your work correspondence does not leak into a training set.
