1) Create your account
Sign up with your Google or Microsoft account. Choose the provider you use for email so we can sync the right inbox.
2) Connect your inbox and grant permissions
On first sign‑in, you’ll be asked to grant Gmail or Outlook plus basic profile permissions. These are required so Jace can:
- Read and sync your email threads and labels in real time
- Create and update drafts you approve
- Read your send‑as settings and signature, so drafts match how you normally write
You can disconnect anytime from Settings → My account.
3) Initial sync and import
After connecting, Jace begins a staged import so you can start working immediately:
- Prioritizes recent, important mail first (your Primary inbox)
- Then it expands to 1 year of history for the Plus subscription, and up to 3 years for Pro.
You can use Jace while the import runs in the background. In onboarding, you’ll see a sync status indicator. New mail will appear instantly via Gmail or Outlook real‑time push notifications.

4) Send your first AI‑assisted draft
Open any thread that needs a reply and click Draft with AI. Jace will propose a complete draft using your signature and voice settings. You stay in control—edit anything before sending.
Tips:
- Ask for options: “Make it shorter and friendlier” or “Propose 3 times for next week.”
- Jace respects your signature settings and won’t duplicate signatures.
5) Personalize Jace with rules
Head to Settings → Rules. Rules teach Jace your preferences—for example scheduling tools, tone, and repeatable workflows. See Rules for examples.
6) Optional: Connect integrations
From Settings → Integrations you can enable optional tools (e.g., Slack, Notion, Google Drive, or remote MCP servers) that Jace can use when drafting or researching. Learn more in Using MCP integrations.
