## Welcome back, there! 👋

Here's what we added while you were away.

### April Updates: Smarter Meli, lighter inbox 🌼

Say hello to more free time this Spring!

## Get Meli to output exactly what you want

Gmelius gives users granular control over AI-generated replies. More professional? No problem. Mirror the sender’s tone? Easy peasy.

And now, custom instructions can contain up to 2,000 characters, up from 1,000.

**This means more flexibility to fine-tune behaviour and outputs.**

Meli now also looks at the last email in a thread to decide if it needs a reply.

## Auto-schedule just the meetings you need, no noise

Meli understands meeting intent based on emails and generates auto-replies with available slots. To turn this feature on, go to Personal inbox configuration settings → AI Scheduler → Toggle to “Enabled”.

Now, the AI auto-scheduler turns itself off for promotional emails, messages where you are CC/BCC’d, and emails originating from Google Calendar.

### What’s next? Catch up on a thread at a glance

In the next few weeks, we are launching the “conversation context summary” feature.

Users can click on the AI button at the top of any email for a quick summary of the conversation so far.

Keep freeing up time with Gmelius, and see you in May.

## Meli is now your personal secretary. 📆 Meetings, handled.

### 🤖 AI Meeting Scheduler by Meli: No More Back-and-Forth

When an incoming email contains a meeting request, Meli automatically detects it and acts as your personal secretary. Meli checks your calendar availability, applies your scheduling preferences, and drafts a ready-to-send reply with suggested time slots.

The recipient can then book a time in one click.

**What makes it different:** This is not chat-based scheduling. You don’t need to prompt it, Meli acts when it matters.

The AI Meeting scheduler is available for all customers. [Learn more](https://help.gmelius.com/ai/ai-scheduler)

## 🏷️ AI Labels: Smarter Inbox Organization

Personal inboxes with AI Sorting enabled now generate **Gmail labels instead of Gmelius tags**, making it easier to organize and navigate conversations.

This update is now available across all plans.

## ⚡ Real-Time Updates Are Back

Your workspace now stays perfectly in sync without manual refresh.

We’ve improved real-time updates across key areas like:

- Ticketing folders
- Custom views
- Shared workflows

Everything updates instantly, so you’re always working with the latest information.

### 🧹 Auto-Cleanup for AI Drafts

Meli now automatically deletes unused drafts to keep your Gmail drafts folder clean. AI-generated drafts are deleted after 3 business days if unused, helping keep your inbox clutter-free without any manual effort.

## **From the Editorial Team**

On YouTube, we’re exploring whether AI truly understands your feelings… or is it just very good at pretending?

## ✨ **AI Sorting by Meli: Keep Non-Essential Emails Out of Your Inbox**

For each AI category, you can now choose whether new emails should:

- **Stay visible** in your inbox, or
- **Be automatically archived** as soon as they’re categorized, and get closer to inbox zero thanks to Meli.
