Getting started: Mail Infomaniak editorial assistant
What is the writing assistant?
The writing assistant helps you compose a text based on existing elements using artificial intelligence.
It's not a conversational agent or chatbot. It may not necessarily respond to generic questions or engage in conversation with you.
It's an assistant that will help you write a message on the topic of your choice, even if it needs to be based on elements present in the current email conversation.
Use it, for example, to write:
- a new message that needs to contain specific elements
- a reply to a received message
- a rephrasing of a text excerpt
- correct grammatical syntax
- etc.

AI Choice
Infomaniak's AI is currently based on Mixtral, the most efficient open-source model on the market. When using the integrated writing assistant, messages and queries addressed to the AI are processed exclusively in Switzerland through Infomaniak's infrastructure. No data is processed or shared with third parties. You can also select the GPT engine as an alternative:
Responsibilities
This computer program generates text based on the information it has learned during its training, but it does not have consciousness, intentions, or moral responsibilities.
Users must exercise their critical judgment and verify the information provided by the assistant with reliable sources when necessary. For example, if someone uses the model for critical tasks such as medical, legal, or financial advice, they should take additional precautions to verify the information provided by the model.
