How it works

1

AI drafts the email

Tell your AI what needs to happen. It reads your threads, checks your CRM, and writes the message.

2

You review and approve

Every draft lands in your TextForge queue. Edit, reject, or approve — nothing leaves without you. Get pinged via Slack, Discord, or webhook.

3

It sends from your Gmail

Hit approve and it goes from your real Gmail account, with your signature. Recipients get an email from you, not a system. When they reply, your AI picks it back up.

All the emails you keep putting off

Let AI draft them. Review before they send.

Sales follow-ups

AI goes through your CRM and drafts follow-ups for every open deal. Sales up 20%.

All the annoying paperwork

W-9s, insurance certs, security questionnaires, vendor contracts — your files, found and attached.

Vendor negotiations

AI builds the argument, tracks down the receipts, runs the whole thread. Got a vendor to cut their bill in half.

Inbox triage

AI scans your inbox and flags anything urgent. You see what actually needs you.

Customer replies

AI reads the full thread and drafts a reply with complete context

Client check-ins

Never let a relationship go cold. AI drafts the check-in, you approve.

Recruiting outreach

Personalized outreach that references their actual background

AI agent safety

Give any AI agent email access — nothing sends without your sign-off

I built TextForge because I was drowning in follow-up emails. Eight hours a week, same stuff every time. Now Claude drafts them. I just review. Sales are up 20%, Claude handles most of my vendor paperwork, and I got a vendor to cut their bill in half — that took me 10 minutes total. Been using it every day since November 2025.

Your email stays in your Gmail

TextForge uses a pass-through architecture. We never store your email content.

Pass-through architecture

Inbox messages and attachments are fetched from Gmail on-demand and never persisted on our servers.

OAuth with minimal scopes

We request only the Gmail permissions needed. You can revoke access anytime from your Google account.

Scoped API tokens

Each AI agent gets its own token. Revoke one without affecting others. Full audit trail of every action.

Passed Google CASA Tier 2 Security Assessment

We can't leak data we don't have.

Less than the cost of one missed follow-up

Frequently asked questions

What is TextForge?

TextForge lets you safely automate your personal email with AI. Your AI agents draft emails via API or MCP, you review and approve them, and they send from your Gmail account with your name and signature. It's not for bulk emailing. It's for managing your routine email while staying in charge.

Is TextForge for bulk cold emailing?

No. TextForge is designed for personal email automation: sales follow-ups, customer communication, procurement responses. Emails send from your Gmail with your name. This is not a mass-email tool.

Can AI send emails without my approval?

No. Every email drafted by an AI agent goes through a mandatory human approval step. You can review, edit, or reject any draft before it sends. This is the core of TextForge.

Can I use TextForge with OpenClaw?

Yes. TextForge is an MCP server that works with OpenClaw, Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible tool. For OpenClaw users specifically, TextForge adds a human approval layer that prevents AI agents from sending unauthorized emails on your behalf.

Does TextForge store my email content?

No. TextForge uses a pass-through architecture. Your inbox content is fetched from Gmail on-demand and never persisted on our servers. We can't leak data we don't have.

Is my email safe?

Yes. TextForge connects via OAuth with minimal scopes. You can revoke access anytime from your Google account settings. Each AI agent gets its own scoped API token with a full audit trail.

What about unauthorized AI emails?

That's why TextForge exists. Every email goes through a mandatory human approval step. Connect OpenClaw or any agent. Nothing sends without your sign-off.

Claude already connects to Gmail. Why do I need TextForge?

Claude's Gmail integration is read-only. It can search and summarize your inbox, but it can't draft, send, or reply to email. TextForge handles the other side: your AI agent drafts the email, you approve it, and TextForge sends it from your Gmail. They solve different problems and work well together. Read the full comparison.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. All plans include a 7-day free trial. No charge until the trial ends. Cancel anytime during the trial and your card will not be billed.
