Ask your email a question. Every point comes with a quote.

Ask finds up to eight relevant emails and answers in up to four short points, each with the exact words it relies on and a link to the email. When your emails don’t answer the question, Ask says so and shows the emails it looked through.

Quotes are checked against the email text, and points without a match are left out
When emails disagree, the answer says so
“Not in these emails” can list what the answer couldn’t find
