Questions before you connect Gmail

Short answers about permissions, privacy, Gmail support, and billing.

What Gmail permissions does Vida need?

Vida uses read-only Gmail access to understand the thread you are replying to, plus your Google profile and email address to authenticate your account. The Chrome extension also asks for the browser permissions it needs to run in Gmail and show the mic button.

How does Vida handle reply data?

When you ask for a reply, Vida uses the current thread context and your voice input to create a draft. Review the draft before sending, and avoid putting passwords, payment details, or other secrets into your spoken notes.

Which Gmail setups does Vida support?

Vida is built for Gmail in Chrome. It can work with personal Gmail and Google Workspace accounts when the account or workspace admin allows the required Gmail and extension permissions.

Do I need a credit card to try Vida?

No. Early access starts at $0 and does not require a credit card. If paid plans are introduced, Vida will make billing terms clear before you enter payment details.

Will Vida send emails automatically?

No. Vida inserts a draft into Gmail. You can edit it, discard it, or send it yourself.
