Native modules

The context panel includes several built-in modules to help you manage conversations more efficiently.

  • Conversation summary is an AI-generated summary of the current thread. It captures the context, the last decision made, and any open items.

  • Contacts presents a list of all participants in the conversation. Each contact links to their full profile in Mailmeteor, where you can view contact details, history, and notes.

  • Recent activity lets you know when your emails were opened or links were clicked.

  • Attachments lists all attachments for all emails in the conversation. Click on an attachment to preview it and download it in one click.

  • Related emails suggests connected emails from your inbox based on sender, subject, or campaign. This is useful for quickly recovering prior context on an exchange.
