# AI productivity and mailbox FAQ

## What AI should I use to manage my mailboxes?

Use ChatGPT or Claude if you want a polished conversational mailbox operator. Use Grok if you already work in Grok and want connector-style access. Use Codex if mailbox context needs to sit beside coding, release, or documentation work. Use Hermes Agent or OpenClaw for more agentic local workflows.

Pear MCP provides the tool layer. The best assistant depends on where you want decisions about mail, calendar, tasks, and contacts to happen.

## Can an AI agent send email with Pear?

Yes, supported clients can use Pear MCP tools to search mail, draft replies, send messages, move mail, delete mail, and combine inbox context with calendar or task actions. The client may ask for confirmation before consequential write actions.

## Can an AI agent manage Microsoft 365?

Yes. Pear supports Microsoft 365 Calendar, Microsoft To Do, Contacts, and Outlook Mail today. Agents such as Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Codex, Hermes, Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline can use Pear according to their MCP and permission support.

## Can an AI agent manage Google Calendar or Gmail with Pear?

Not yet. Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Tasks, and Google Contacts are coming soon. Pear already supports Apple iCloud and Microsoft 365.

## Can an AI agent manage Apple iCloud with Pear?

Yes. Pear supports Apple Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, and iCloud Mail through a hosted MCP endpoint. Apple setup uses an App-Specific Password, not the main Apple ID password.
