## Documentation

### iGPT Email Ask

Ask questions about a user's email and get reasoned, structured answers. Powered by iGPT's Context Engine, which reconstructs conversations, decisions, ownership, and intent across time.

### What This Skill Does

This skill queries iGPT's recall/ask endpoint to generate answers grounded in a user's connected email data. Unlike basic retrieval, the Context Engine:

Reconstructs full conversation threads across replies, forwards, and CCs
Identifies who decided what, who owns what, and what's still open
Extracts structured data (tasks, deadlines, contacts, risks) from unstructured email
Supports multiple quality tiers for different complexity levels
Returns text, JSON, or schema-validated structured output
Supports streaming (SSE) for real-time responses

### When to Use This Skill

Summarize what happened in a thread or across threads
Extract action items, decisions, or open questions
Analyze sentiment or risk in deal/customer threads
Answer questions that require understanding context across multiple emails
Generate structured data from email content (JSON, schema-validated)
Prepare briefings before meetings based on recent correspondence

### Prerequisites

An iGPT API key (get one at https://igpt.ai/hub/apikeys/)
A connected email datasource -- the user must have completed OAuth authorization via connectors/authorize before ask will return results. You can check connection status with datasources.list().
Python >= 3.8 with the igptai package installed

### Setup

pip install igptai

Set your API key as an environment variable:

export IGPT_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

### Basic: Ask a question

from igptai import IGPT
import os

igpt = IGPT(api_key=os.environ["IGPT_API_KEY"], user="user_123")

res = igpt.recall.ask(input="Summarize key risks, decisions, and next steps from this week's meetings.")
if res is not None and res.get("error"):
    print("iGPT error:", res)
else:
    print(res)

### Get JSON output

Pass output_format="json" for unstructured JSON, or provide a schema for validated structured output:

# Simple JSON output
res = igpt.recall.ask(
    input="What are the open action items from this week?",
    output_format="json"
)

# Schema-validated structured output
res = igpt.recall.ask(
    input="Open action items from this week",
    quality="cef-1-normal",
    output_format={
        "strict": True,
        "schema": {
            "type": "object",
            "required": ["action_items"],
            "additionalProperties": False,
            "properties": {
                "action_items": {
                    "type": "array",
                    "items": {
                        "type": "object",
                        "required": ["title", "owner", "due_date"],
                        "properties": {
                            "title": {"type": "string"},
                            "owner": {"type": "string"},
                            "due_date": {"type": "string"}
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
)
print(res)

Example response:

{
    "action_items": [
        {
            "title": "Approve revised Q1 budget allocation",
            "owner": "Dvir Ben-Aroya",
            "due_date": "2026-01-15"
        },
        {
            "title": "Approve final FY2026 strategic priorities",
            "owner": "Board of Directors",
            "due_date": "2026-01-31"
        }
    ]
}

### Use quality tiers

iGPT's Context Engine has three quality tiers:

# Normal: fast, good for straightforward questions
res = igpt.recall.ask(
    input="When is my next meeting with Acme Corp?",
    quality="cef-1-normal"
)

# High: deeper reasoning, better for complex multi-thread analysis
res = igpt.recall.ask(
    input="What is the current negotiation status with Acme Corp and what leverage do we have?",
    quality="cef-1-high"
)

# Reasoning: maximum depth, for complex cross-thread synthesis
res = igpt.recall.ask(
    input="Across all communication with Acme over the past quarter, what patterns suggest risk and what should we do about it?",
    quality="cef-1-reasoning"
)

### Stream responses

Streaming returns parsed JSON chunks (dicts), not raw text. Extract content from each chunk:

stream = igpt.recall.ask(
    input="Walk me through the timeline of the Acme deal from first contact to now.",
    stream=True
)

for chunk in stream:
    if isinstance(chunk, dict) and chunk.get("error"):
        print("Stream error:", chunk)
        break
    # Each chunk is a parsed JSON dict
    print(chunk)

Streaming is resilient: if the connection breaks, the iterator yields an error chunk and finishes rather than throwing.

### Check datasource connection before asking

# Verify user has a connected datasource
status = igpt.datasources.list()
if status is not None and not status.get("error"):
    print("Connected datasources:", status)
else:
    # Connect a datasource first
    auth = igpt.connectors.authorize(service="spike", scope="messages")
    print("Open this URL to authorize:", auth.get("url"))

### Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescriptioninputstringYesThe prompt or question to ask.userstringYes (or set in constructor)Unique user identifier scoping the query to their connected data. Per-call value overrides constructor default.streambooleanNo (default: false)If true, returns a generator yielding parsed JSON dicts via SSE.qualitystringNoContext Engine quality tier: "cef-1-normal", "cef-1-high", or "cef-1-reasoning".output_formatstring or objectNo"text" (default), "json", or {"strict": true, "schema": <JSON Schema>} for validated structured output.

### Error Handling

The SDK does not throw exceptions. It returns normalized error objects:

res = igpt.recall.ask(input="What happened in yesterday's board meeting?")

if res is not None and res.get("error"):
    error = res["error"]
    if error == "auth":
        print("Check your API key")
    elif error == "params":
        print("Check your request parameters")
    elif error == "network_error":
        print("Network issue -- the SDK retries with exponential backoff (3 attempts by default) before returning this")
else:
    print(res)

### External Endpoints

This skill communicates exclusively with:

https://api.igpt.ai/v1/recall/ask/ -- the reasoning endpoint
https://api.igpt.ai/v1/connectors/authorize/ -- only during initial datasource connection setup
https://api.igpt.ai/v1/datasources/list/ -- to check connection status

No other external endpoints are contacted. No data is sent to any third-party service. The igptai PyPI package source is available at https://github.com/igptai/igpt-python.

### Security & Privacy

API-key scoped: All requests authenticate via IGPT_API_KEY sent as a Bearer token over HTTPS. No shell access, no filesystem access, no system commands.
Per-user isolation: Every query is scoped to a specific user identifier. User A cannot access User B's email data. Isolation is enforced at the index and execution level, not as a filter layer.
OAuth read-only: The email datasource connection uses OAuth with read-only scopes. The skill does not send, modify, or delete emails.
No data retention: Prompts are discarded after execution. Memory is reconstructed on-demand, not stored.
Transport encryption: All communication occurs over HTTPS. No plaintext endpoints.
No local persistence: This skill does not write to disk, modify environment files, or create persistent configuration outside of the standard IGPT_API_KEY environment variable.
Built-in retries: The SDK retries failed requests with exponential backoff (default: 3 attempts, 100ms base, 2x factor) before returning a network_error.

For the full security model, see https://docs.igpt.ai/docs/security/model.

### What This Skill Does NOT Do

Does not send, modify, forward, or delete emails
Does not access the filesystem or execute shell commands
Does not install persistent services or scheduled tasks
Does not contact endpoints other than api.igpt.ai
Does not store API keys or OAuth tokens outside the environment variable

### Example Questions

These all work as natural language prompts:

"Summarize key risks from this week's email threads" -- cross-thread analysis
"What are the open action items from yesterday's board meeting?" -- task extraction
"What's the current status of the Acme deal?" -- deal intelligence
"Who owns the budget approval and when is it due?" -- ownership and deadline extraction
"Are there any threads where tone has shifted negatively in the last 7 days?" -- sentiment analysis
"Generate a briefing for my meeting with Sarah tomorrow" -- meeting prep
