Gmail is often where critical decisions, approvals, and external context live — buried across thousands of threads. When you connect Gmail to Hyper, it automatically identifies and ingests your most important email threads, making them searchable by any AI agent without you having to dig through your inbox manually. Hyper keeps your indexed threads fresh using Google’s push notification system, so new important mail surfaces in your memory layer within minutes of arrival.

​
Connect Gmail

1

Open Settings in the Hyper desktop app

Launch the Hyper desktop app and click Settings in the navigation, then select Connections.
2

Click Connect next to Gmail

Find Gmail in the list of available integrations and click Connect.
3

Authorize with Google OAuth 2.0

A Google sign-in window opens. Sign in with the Google account whose Gmail you want to connect, then grant Hyper the requested permissions. Hyper uses standard Google OAuth 2.0 — your Google password is never stored by Hyper.

Wait for the initial sync to complete

Hyper begins fetching and classifying your email threads immediately. The initial sync may take a few minutes depending on your inbox size. You’ll see a sync status indicator in Settings → Connections.

​
What Hyper Syncs

Hyper does not ingest every email in your inbox — only threads that Google’s classification signals as important are pulled in. This keeps your memory layer focused on meaningful content rather than promotional noise.
Hyper reads email content only — it never sends, drafts, deletes, or modifies any messages in your Gmail account.

​
Search Your Email with AI Agents

Once synced, your AI agents can query Gmail using the full Gmail search syntax. Ask questions in natural language and Hyper will translate them, or pass search operators directly. Supported search operators: Example agent queries:
Agents can also read the complete content of any specific thread by ID, giving them full context for multi-message conversations.

​
Reconnect Gmail

If your Google OAuth token expires, Hyper will show a Reconnect prompt next to Gmail in Settings → Connections.
1

Go to Settings → Connections

Open the Hyper desktop app and navigate to Settings → Connections.
2

Click Reconnect next to Gmail

Click the Reconnect button. A Google sign-in window opens.
3

Re-authorize with Google

Complete the OAuth flow. Your previously synced threads are preserved — Hyper resumes incremental sync from where it left off.
Your existing indexed email data is not deleted when a token expires. Reconnecting simply restores the sync pipeline.

​
Disconnect Gmail

To remove Gmail from Hyper, go to Settings → Connections, find Gmail, and click Disconnect. This revokes Hyper’s access token and stops all future syncing. Previously indexed thread content will be removed from your memory layer.
Disconnecting Gmail removes all synced email data from Hyper’s memory layer. If you reconnect later, Hyper will perform a fresh initial sync.
