Navi can email you now

Shipped today: Navi can send results straight to your inbox — chat replies, scheduled cron output, and generated files as attachments. Chat is great when you're at the keyboard; email meets you the rest of the time.

Need help? Join the Navi community on Discord, r/naviwork, or the Facebook group — that's the fastest way to get answers.

Up until now, everything Navi did lived inside the chat. Ask a question, get an answer in the thread. Set up a cron job, results show up as a new chat message whenever they fire. That works beautifully when you're actively using Navi. It works less well when you're in meetings, on a plane, or just not looking at the app.

So Navi can now send email. Not from your Gmail — from Navi's own address, reports@send.naviwork.ai, straight to whatever email you signed up with.

How to use it

Just ask. Any chat turn that ends with "...and email me the result" will do it:

Ad-hoc Pull the open issues on the Checkout project in Linear, group them by status, and email me a short report.

Navi does the work in the chat (you can watch), then fires off the email at the end. The message arrives in your inbox formatted as a real email — headings, bullet points, tables, links — not a wall of raw markdown.

There's also a button for it. Next to the paperclip icon in the chat composer, you'll find a little envelope. Click it and the phrase "Please email the result to me using email tool" gets appended to whatever you're typing. Handy for long-running tasks where you want to walk away while Navi works.

Where it really earns its keep: scheduled reports

Cron jobs are where this gets good. You already set up agents that run on a schedule — the 8am calendar briefing, the Friday Linear roll-up, the Monday planning sweep. Adding email delivery takes them from "post into a chat I might notice" to "land in my inbox at the time I need them."

Morning briefing Every weekday at 7:30am Pacific, pull my calendar for the day, highlight any meetings where I'm the organizer, note anyone joining who I've met fewer than three times, and email me the summary.
Weekly team pulse Every Friday at 3pm, roll up every Linear issue my team closed this week, group by project, flag anything that slipped. Email it to me — I'll forward to my manager after a quick edit.
Pipeline digest Every Monday at 8am, pull deals from my CRM where last contact was more than 5 business days ago, summarize status, and email me the list so I can triage over coffee.

The email shows up looking like a real product email — styled, readable on mobile, dark-mode aware. It's not a "notification" with a link back to the app; the content is the email.

Attachments

Navi can attach files too. Anything it produces or downloads in its sandbox — PDFs, spreadsheets, generated charts, scraped reports — can come along as an attachment.

Download and deliver Find Google's latest 10-K on the SEC website, download the PDF, write a two-paragraph summary of the financials, and email me the summary with the PDF attached.
Generate and deliver Pull my last month of Google Sheets time-tracking data, generate a PDF report with a bar chart by project and a totals table, and email it to me as an attachment.

Current limits: up to 10 files per email, 10 MB each, 25 MB total. If Navi tries to attach something bigger, it'll tell you in chat and ask how to trim it.

A few things worth knowing

The email goes to you, not to anyone else. This is a safety feature, not a limitation. The tool Navi uses is hard-wired to your own address — it literally cannot be pointed at someone else's inbox by accident or by a clever prompt. If you want to email a colleague, use the Gmail integration, which goes through your actual Gmail account with your from address.

Replies don't come back to Navi. If you hit "reply" on one of these emails, you're replying to a noreply-ish address that Navi doesn't read. Treat the emails as one-way delivery. To continue a conversation, go back to the chat — it's all still there.

The subject line is whatever Navi thinks fits. If you want to filter these in Gmail (say, to auto-label your daily briefings), tell Navi: "When you email these to me, start the subject with [Briefing] so I can filter." It'll remember.

The broader shape

Navi's design principle is: you describe the outcome, Navi figures out the steps. Email delivery is a small thing but it changes the texture of that outcome. You stop thinking about Navi as "an app I open" and start thinking about it as "the thing that puts finished work in front of me."

The 7:30am inbox arrival is the point. The chat is where the work happens; the inbox is where it lands.
