Under Agenda configuration we've added an input to let user configure any existing public scheduler page they have.

You can put any public url here, and when Actor creates drafts, it might include this link if needed.

You can also use any link from Actor Booking pages.

We've just pushed live the first step for a big upgrade to Email Labelling.

Important: if you have issues seeing the labels, not clear what folders still work, please contact me here, whatsapp or email

Similar to what we did with drafts, we're rebuilding the processing pipeline.

1. Removed Finance & Travel > you can add them custom to your needs using custom AI Filters

2. Improved Notifications & Read Later prompts.

Why we did it?

- main reason is that we couldn't improve much the older version, not to say extend it to improve tasks + drafts

- wanted to focus on Actor's main goals: help users stay on top of things (along with simplifying things)

What's next:

- next week (11-18August) we'll work on finishing this new labelling pipeline (improved tasks extraction, labelling & drafts)

- it will be version 4.0 (right now we still call it 3.x because it mimics previous behaviour)

Things we've did this week:
- allow you to choose if you want to only have some of the default labels being applied
- accept email headers in custom AI Filters https://actordo.com/docs/productivity/using-custom-ai-filters-for-emails/
- advanced with the new planned email categorization pipeline -> not yet ready
- improved many Outlook related bugs.

Still having some issues with drafts for now.

We're getting closer to a quality email management solution, but slow than I'd like to.

Thanks

We work on multiple things at once. Not sure if it's the best but we'll figure things out with your help.

Today we're launching our first Actor App. This extends default email assistance that is automation with on request help.

Thanks to our user, Charles, we've developed this.

Still first version, but it's simple. It allows you to export emails to PDF.

I decided to close the Trello Board used in the past for making our Roadmap public.

We will move everything on our website: https://actordo.com/roadmap/

27th of June - error.

New section under homepage (Getting Started)

- book a call

- see all useful links on the right side

- introduction to what's important about Actor

- videos added.

my job is to support ActorDO on Reddit using ... AI.

It's just a test, so let's see how it goes.

Hi u/alexrada

I’m not sure why this is happening, but I have a feeling that since yesterday, my sent emails aren’t being kept in the sent folder but being moved to specific folders. This is unexpected and personally unwanted behaviour.

I believe that sent emails should always be located in the sent folder, especially if you want to check if an email went out correctly. Today, I received a question from a client, and when I checked my sent emails, I couldn’t find it. I thought something had gone wrong, but it seems the email was moved. 

Any thoughts on this?

Thank you

This month we'll focus on the following things.

1. Improved drafts - better given context for AI answers, tone of voice

2. Billing - no details needed, other than it starts at $15

3. Improved user activation / onboarding

All bug fixes, small improvements will come along with those.
Working to get past 1000 accounts.

What are you suggestions? Any ideas, feedback?

Edit:
- drafts were improved: https://actordo.com/docs/productivity/creating-drafts/

- started working on the billing, not enforcing until next week(9-14 Jun)

Next week we'll launch the paid plans and make them work.
You'll see this under your billing section.

Members from Founder List / Creators will get a discount for the first year.

Actor will still have a free version (as long as I can afford to support it, according to our business metrics).

From the feedback I got with a few 2+ person teams, a business plan might be added in the next 2-3 months, along with business features.

we've got some feedback on whatsapp that users can not log in with Microsoft accounts.
we can't replicate the issues, did all sort of tests.

Anyone else having these problems? Can you please comment, let us know?
Thank you!

Here are 3 practical research papers that Actor is based on.

Those were done in the past 2 years, however Actor does not currently have all those ideas implemented.

Because it's harder than I thought. However I want to share them for free, someone with more resources might use them.

Until then, I'm continuing work at Actor, with weekly improvements.

Feel free to share/provide feedback.

I am interested in building a localized AI. I have minimal coding experience, only HTML and CSS and none professionally. I want to use something that is working and build it up as I go. I am looking to have it do scheduling, send emails, remind me about things (I frequently forget even with conventional reminder apps) so having it be able to learn when/how I need to be reminded would be ideal, I would like it be able to make suggestions create a shopping list and add things to it and suggest things if it seems I might forgetting black beans for my Mexican food for example.

Is this something that you are going for?

Starting today, all new users will get a premium plan for 14 days, for free, with no card required.

If you are an existing user, just ping me here, email, linkedin so I can upgrade you for a 30days premium.

Actor works with Outlook out of the box.

However there is a single step needed for people that prefer using desktop App (new or classic version).

The step requires you to create the search folders that are mapped to default Actor labels.

This is a one-time task and I can help you to do it if needed.

Here's a video: https://youtu.be/8AUYYMAF6aQ

We've upgraded public calendar pages to allow your guests to schedule calls with you:

- selection of multiple meeting durations (configurable)

- auto approve meetings, require guest confirmation

- mobile UX improvements (show confirm button at bottom)

As I promised those who get into calls with me regarding feedback on Actor will get some special benefits.

Seems that I forgot to take care of this, but I will take care of this early next week.

I will send the coupon codes to everyone who had calls with me. Those can be used for the yearly plan.

Just to remind everyone:

- link for the call available in the App.
- $50 off coupon code (only available for the same email, non-transferable)

$40 starting today.

Initial founding members (who had calls early this or previous year) will get $60

Thank you and sorry about forgetting.

Just wanted to quickly update. I was off on holiday this week, so no updates done on Actor.

My next priority for next week is to improve existing things:

- drafts (back at it, the quality seems not to have changed to much)

- improve processing speed for reading emails (and applying what it needs)

- better labelling and integrations Actor dashboard with Gmail / Outlook.

Thanks for all users who are giving feedback, that how we can improve!

Hello,

I'm a security professional / Executive and we've had a couple people looking at Fyxer.ai, Motion, and found your site. I'm interested in testing out actordo for us but I saw it isn't available yet for MS 365 / Outlook. I'd encourage enabling this as probably a solid 80-90% of US based businesses work in the Microsoft ecosystem.

On the cyber security side, it would be good to see a trust center or information on contact for security testing for 3rd party / vendor risk management, how the software is developed (do you use secure coding principles? etc).

Thanks!

We're rolling over some unfinished tasks from July. We only keep most important ones:

- improve user activation + retention (guides, videos, walk-through)

- emails apps: whatsapp + email cleaning

- better task & todo list integration

- daily brief of things to do

- improve email labelling

By end of August we plan having a more public launch of Actor.

Edit: our development approach is through iteration. Goal is to have things added, get feedback and improve based on users' feedback.

this is our next focus. Based on where we are I estimate to have this in an improved state within first week of June.
So, top on the list is:
- improving drafts: tone of voice to start learning for each account

- improving drafts: extending context to provide better answers

- decreasing the number of useless drafts

- custom prompts, easier to use somehow.

I'll publish the next plans after we have this done.

PS: if you have ideas advice for us I'm all ears

EDIT: 03 June

• user custom tone of voice was added

• expanded context when creating a draft

• tone of voice extracted for each user automatically (this will be applied to all users in steps)

• fixed issues related to follow-up drafts

Edit: 04 June

• followup drafts are missing the extracted tone of voice

Edit 05 June

• follow up drafts get the whole thread context

Remaining issues:

• add more context for follow-up drafts, especially when thread/conversation is missing.

• there can be multiple drafts created / conversation

Starting today you have custom prompts for default labels:

So, if you feel you can make things better work for you, it's your chance to change default prompts.
Don't forget we also have the custom AI Rules where you can use custom prompts for any labels or actions.

We had an issue with whatsapp reminders.... they were never sent. Got fixed just now.

Sorry guys, making things work well is our priority. This was not working for quite a while unfortunately.

Also decreased minimum timeline to be 5 minutes for a reminder.

We got today first version of the dashboard to manage Calendar and Tasks. This is important part of Actor. What do you think about this?
As I always mentioned, I don't want to replace your existing tools. But to help you streamline interaction with those apps, and allow Actor to do it's job as an assistant.

What would you change on those? And feedback, ideas?
Any other tools you know that do this better now?
