Extract Tasks from Outlook Emails

Actor works as the best personal AI Assistant that helps you stay organized by automatically detecting tasks hidden inside your emails in Outlook. Then it can seamlessly syncronize those with Microsoft Todo app.

It goes through your emails, finds what needs action, and turns those into clear tasks — automatically.

What Actor Does

  • Detects actionable emails that need your attention.
  • Extracts tasks directly from email content.
  • Creates tasks automatically in Outlook — linked to the original message. With a single click.

So you never lose track of what to do next.

How It Works

  1. Connect Actor to your Outlook account
    Sign in with Microsoft and let Actor read your inbox securely.
  2. Actor analyzes your emails
    It identifies tasks such as “Send the report,” “Book a call,” or “Follow up next week.”
  3. View tasks right inside Outlook
    With our Outlook Add-in, you can see, edit, and complete tasks directly while viewing your emails.
    You can also open the Actor dashboard to see all extracted tasks in one place.
  4. Automatic sync
    When you mark an email as Done or Archive in Actor, related tasks are automatically marked Complete in Microsoft Todo app.
