Example email digest showing multiple blocks with summaries

Email digests show TLDR summaries and clickable key takeaways for each item

​
How Email Digests Work

Your digest appears as a single email with blocks displayed as separate sections. Each block contains AI-generated summaries from its connected sources, appearing in the same order you arranged them in the digest builder.

​
What You See

Each item in your digest includes:
  • TLDR summary - Quick overview of the content
  • Key takeaways - Important points and insights
  • Source attribution - Newsletter sender, video channel, or blog
  • Links to full content - Read the original source
All summaries are generated using your AI customization settings at the block, digest, or account level.

​
Different Summary Types

Summary formats vary based on your AI customization settings. Each format offers different features for interacting with content.

​
Detailed Summaries

When using the Detailed Summaries format, you get interactive references that work directly in your email client:
1

Click on key takeaways

Each takeaway in Detailed Summaries is clickable
2

Jump to exact context

  • Email content: Jumps to the specific paragraph in the original email
  • YouTube videos: Opens video at the exact timestamp
  • RSS posts: Links to the relevant section in the blog post
3

Read full content

Access complete newsletters, videos, and articles from digest links
Interactive references make it easy to verify AI summaries or dive deeper into specific points without losing your place in the digest.

Reading Experience

​
Email Client Compatibility

Digests work with all major HTML-capable email clients:
  • Gmail (Web & Mobile)
  • Apple Mail
  • Outlook
  • Yahoo Mail
  • ProtonMail
  • Spark

​
Large Digests

Some email clients (especially Gmail) may clip very long digests. If you see “View entire message” at the bottom, click the “Read on Web” link at the top of your digest for the full experience.
Email client formatting can be restrictive. For the best reading experience with embedded content and interactive features, use the web reader.

​

When you receive your first digest, check spam or promotions folders. Mark as “Not Spam” if found there.
