Fast Actions

Fast Actions are one-click AI shortcuts. Point at an email — or a note, or a single selected line — and turn it into something useful without writing a prompt:

To Task — capture what the message is asking you to do.
To Calendar Event — pull the date, time, and title into an event.
To Contact — extract the sender’s name, email, phone, and address.
To Reply — draft a reply in your voice, ready to review.
Extract Action Items — list every to-do buried in a long thread.
To Branded Email — turn a rough note into a styled @bridge Compose draft.

Where they live

Fast Actions show up wherever you’re working: the message toolbar in the mail view, the @bridge Notes editor, and the @bridge AI Chat. Same actions, same one-click flow, using the provider and model you picked.

Use one

Open a message (or select a line in a note).
Click the Fast Actions button and choose an action.
The AI you configured extracts the details. Anything that creates or changes data pauses for your confirmation — you see what it’s about to do before it happens.

Private by design

The extraction runs through your AI provider — a cloud model or a fully local one — and the resulting task/event/contact/draft is created locally in Thunderbird. @bridge never routes the content through its own servers.
