Turn your messages into actions (Weightless AI 3.22)
An accepted meeting, a promised quote, an address, an email signature… The new “Actions” button finds them and sends them in one click to your calendar, your tasks, Google Maps or your contacts.
You get a message: “Shall we meet on Thursday at 2:30 pm at the office, 12 Main Street?”. You ask Weightless AI to draft a polite reply. And then? You still have to open your calendar, create the event, copy the time, the address… Version 3.22 removes that last step.
The “Actions” button
Under each answer from the assistant, a new button marked with a W appears: Actions. One click, and the AI reads the exchange again to find what needs a follow-up:
- appointments, with the date, time, place and even the time zone when it is given (“3 pm New York time”);
- tasks: “I’ll send you the quote on Friday”;
- reminders: “follow up if there’s no answer within three days”;
- addresses you need to go to;
- contacts, for example in an email signature.
Each item found is shown as a card, with its buttons.
One click, and everything goes to the right place
- Appointment: your calendar opens with the event already filled in. Check it, click Save. Google Calendar and Outlook (personal or work account) are supported, and an .ics file works with all the others: Apple Calendar, Thunderbird, Proton…
- Several slots proposed, nothing settled (“the 17th, 18th or 19th?”): a Poll card copies the slots and opens Doodle or Framadate.
- Task: it is copied and Google Tasks opens; just paste it.
- Reminder: pick a time and a Chrome notification will remind you. The reminder stays on your device.
- Address: directions open in Google Maps. No pointless button for a “video call” or a Teams meeting.
- Contact: a .vcf card is created, ready to import into Google Contacts, Outlook or your address book.
Choose your calendar and address book once and for all in Settings › Actions.
On any page, too
A confirmation email, a booking, an invitation? Select the text, right-click, then Weightless AI: analyse › Find actions. The assistant opens and prepares the cards.
Nothing is saved without you
It has been the rule of Weightless AI from day one, and it does not change: the extension has no access to your calendar, tasks or contacts. It prepares, you confirm. The links simply open your service’s page with the details already entered, and nothing is created until you click Save.
Always check the proposed date before saving: the AI can make mistakes, especially with “next Tuesday” on a Sunday night.
Also in this version
- In the help, the list of languages now shows real little flags that display everywhere (the emoji showed up as plain letters on Windows).
- The extension’s welcome page presents what’s new and links to this website, in your language.
The update reaches Chrome automatically. To install it now, or for the first time, head to the Chrome Web Store.
