Open the command palette and select Hand off to AI to delegate a thread to the AI agent.

Writing style

The first time you use handoff, Brevity prompts you to set a writing style. The AI uses this to match your tone in drafts.

Entering an instruction

Describe what you want done — for example, “politely decline this meeting” or “ask for an update on the project timeline.” Choose a review mode:
  • Ask before send (default) — the AI drafts a response for your review
  • Send without review — the AI sends and archives automatically

Reviewing a draft

In Ask before send mode, the AI shows a proposed draft. You have three options:
  • Send — send the draft as-is
  • Edit — modify the draft before sending
  • Discard — cancel the handoff

Auto mode

In Send without review mode, the AI sends the response and archives the thread automatically. A notification confirms the action — click View chat to see the AI’s reasoning.

What the AI can do

The AI can:
  • Reply, forward, or compose new emails
  • Archive threads
  • Add labels
  • Search your emails for context
