Spark +AI

Spark +AI is a set of tools available as a part of the Spark Premium subscription, including tools for generation and editing textual content, designed to speed up and simplify your work with emails using AI. It can help you generate email responses or new emails faster and edit text.

What is Spark +AI?

Spark +AI uses Azure OpenAI integration to understand and generate human-like language. It's like having a personal assistant who can understand what you're saying and help you communicate better.

Spark +AI can generate text in multiple languages.

Tip: Spark +AI works best when you write prompts in English, as the Azure OpenAI model has been more trained for English. To use a different language, the preferred language should be specified in the prompt.

Examples of how Spark +AI can be used

Generating new email

When writer’s block limits your ideas for composing a message, +AI Generate a Draft can help.

Open Spark composer.
Click on Generate a Draft button.
Type a prompt, for example, if you urgently need to reschedule the meeting: “Propose a different meeting time and apologize for the last-minute change”.
Click on the arrow to generate text.
Press on the … icon to view More +AI Preferences.
Select the preferred option to adjust the generated text.

Edit Drafts

+AI helps to save time when editing Drafts.

Open the Draft you want to improve.
Click on the … icon to view More +AI Preferences.
For example, you can check spelling and grammar mistakes by pressing Proofread.

Tip: The +AI-generated text is proofread by default and does not require further checks.

Summarize +AI

+AI Summary allows reading large threads faster.

Open the thread you want to summarize.
Click on the +AI button on the Toolbar to Generate +AI Summary.
Select from one of the following options:
Short - To generate a summary of 1-2 sentences.
Detailed - Generate a detailed summary of a few paragraphs.
Action points - Display summary in Action points along with Action items.

Tip: To summarize new emails from the same sender automatically, tick the option Always summarize emails from in the Generate +AI Summary window.

Quick +AI Replies

You'll find a +AI button in the People email category with quick reply options like Interested, Not Interested, and Thanks! Just tap it once to generate a draft reply.

Open the email you want to reply to.
Select the scenario from the Interested, Not interested, and Thanks! options.
For example, select Thanks!, and +AI will generate a thankful Draft based on the context.

Note: Using Quick +AI Replies generates a Draft based on the scenario and not sending an instant reply. You can adjust the Draft before sending a message.

Who can use +AI?

Spark +AI is available to our Premium Users and is also accessible during the Trial period, who get a monthly spending limit to use the feature - the so-called Monthly +AI Quota, which would cover most of your usage needs.
You will receive a Monthly +AI Quota sufficient for generating emails, replies, or editing drafts for most of your usage needs. If the monthly quota is about to be used, Spark will notify you and suggest purchasing an extra quota if required.

Note: The Monthly +AI Quota refills automatically every billing month. The unused percentage of the Monthly +AI Quota balance is not carried forward to the next month.

How secure is Spark +AI?

Spark +AI is designed to help you create and edit emails using machine learning algorithms. We want you to feel confident that your data is safe when using this feature. Here's what you need to know about the security of Spark +AI.

Data Collection and Processing:

To use the Azure OpenAI Service that powers Spark +AI, we need to collect and process data, including personal information. Rest assured that we value your privacy, and we process your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Generation of Spark +AI Data:

Spark +AI helps you generate and edit email drafts. It does not send emails on your behalf. You have full control over the content generated by the Spark +AI at all times. You can review and edit the generated email draft before sending it.

Security of Spark +AI Data:

We take your privacy and security seriously. Your email content and requests to Spark +AI are kept private and encrypted using our standard privacy and security practices. We use the latest methods and tools to protect your personal data from various risks.

Does Spark or Azure OpenAI store the Spark +AI data?

The prompts you make to Spark +AI and the content of email (for example, in case you generate a reply draft to an email, or text selection, in case you wish to rephrase a certain text with +AI) will be passed to Azure OpenAI Service only for the sole purpose of providing you with the Spark +AI functionality and text generation/enhancement. Azure OpenAI does not use this data to train models, and will not retain the data for more than 30 days. Spark does not store this data or train or models too.

How do I know that Spark +AI draft suggestions are accurate?

When using Spark +AI, you can provide a prompt and receive the output (generated text) based on that prompt. You are responsible for checking the prompt and not using the prompts that might violate the Code of conduct for Azure OpenAI Service.

Please keep in mind that the output may sometimes be inaccurate due to the nature of machine learning and the technology powering up Spark +AI features. We recommend that you always validate the accuracy of text generated by +Spark AI before relying on it for critical content and sending your email draft. Read more in our Privacy Policy.
