Frequently Asked Questions About Flumes AI

How much time will Flumes actually save me?

Arrow

Most users save 30–60 minutes a day by reducing context-switching, avoiding inbox paralysis, and never rewriting the same reply twice.

Do I need to be signed in for Flumes to work?

No. Flumes can operate in the background, even if you're not actively logged in. It remembers your signature and preferences, so replies and follow-ups keep running.

What does “privacy-first” mean here?

Flumes never uses your data to train models. We use ephemeral memory and scoped embeddings to power intelligent replies without exposing your data.

What platforms does Flumes support?

Currently: Gmail via OAuth. Outlook support is coming soon. All integrations are secure and privacy-respecting.

Will Flumes read all my emails?

Only the emails you grant access to. Flumes connects via Gmail (and soon Outlook), and processes emails on-device or through secure servers. It does not train on your inbox content.

Can Flumes send emails for me?

Arrow

Not by default. Flumes generates drafts and suggested replies. You can review and edit before sending. In the future, optional auto-send modes may be available for follow-ups.
