Thread summaries

Long threads are where time disappears — a dozen replies, quoted text, people added and dropped. Bertram reads the whole conversation and writes a short summary, a three-line gist, that captures what the thread is about and what, if anything, is being asked of you.

Where summaries show up

In your inbox, longer threads carry a gist inline so you can decide whether to open them. Inside a thread, the summary sits at the top so you get the context before diving into individual messages.

Summaries are generated by Claude from the actual thread content at the moment you view it. They are meant to orient you quickly — for anything that matters, the full conversation is always one click away.
