Welcome! This guide will show you how to get the most out of Hera, your personal AI assistant.
Hera is here to help you manage your emails, calendars, and to-dos — without any complicated setup or technical knowledge.
1. What is Hera?
Hera is your personal assistant inside 913.ai.
She doesn’t just show you information — she can actually go into your email or calendar and do the tasks for you.
Here’s what she can do:
Manage your emails (Outlook or Gmail).
Organize your calendar (Google Calendar or Outlook).
Keep a personal to-do list that you can update anytime.
Fetch people directly from your contacts.
Sort your emails (e.g., move contract emails into a “Contracts” folder).
Think of Hera as a helper you can simply ask, and she’ll take care of it.

2. Using Hera Without Any Integrations

You can use Hera right away, even without connecting Outlook or Gmail.
For example:
“Hera, create a to-do list for me.”
“Hera, add ‘Prepare slides for Friday’ to my list.”
“Hera, show me my tasks for today.”
3. Connecting Hera to Outlook, Gmail, or Google Calendar
To use Hera fully, connect her to your email or calendar. Don’t worry — it’s secure and simple.
Step 1: Ask Hera to connect
Just type:
👉 “Hera, connect to my Outlook account.”
She’ll give you a secure link.f
Tip: If the link generated by Hera doesn’t work, you can always tell her this and she will generate the correct link for you.

Step 2: Log in
Click the link → log into Outlook, Gmail, or Google Calendar.
Make sure you pick the account you want Hera to manage (e.g., your work email).
If the wrong account shows up, switch accounts in your browser and try again.
Step 3: Confirm permissions
Approve access. Hera only works with your account — no one else can see your data.
Step 4: You’re connected!
You’ll see a success message. Go back to Hera, and she’s ready to start managing your tools.
4. Examples of What You Can Ask Hera
Here are some everyday examples of how you can talk to Hera:
📧 Email (Outlook or Gmail)
“Hera, go through today’s emails and make me a to-do list.”
“Hera, sort all emails from Anna into a folder called ‘Clients’.”
“Hera, mark my important emails from today.”
📅 Calendar (Google Calendar or Outlook)

5. Key Tip: Hera Acts, She Doesn’t Just Read
Hera isn’t just an information retriever.
She can:
Act directly inside your Outlook or Gmail (sort, move, mark, or clean up emails).
Update your calendar (create, reschedule, or cancel events).
Use your contacts to quickly set up meetings or send messages.
👉 Example: “Hera, schedule a call with Anna from my contacts for Thursday at 10am.”
👉 Example: “Hera, clean up my inbox and move all contract emails into a folder.”
6. Tips for Best Results
Be clear: Just describe what you want in plain language.
Let Hera confirm: She’ll let you know when a task is done.
Start small: Try one simple task first (like a to-do list) to see how she works.
Need help phrasing? You can always ask Olivia (another agent) to suggest a good prompt.
