What your assistant can do
Once Carbon Voice is connected over MCP, your assistant works with your account through a set of tools. This page is what those tools add up to, in plain language, so you know what is worth asking for.
Two things to know before the list:
- It acts as you. The connection is signed in to your account, so an assistant sees what you can see, and anything it creates is created by you.
- It reads and writes. As well as finding and summarizing, it can create voice memos, send messages, share links, and manage action items.
Find and read
- Find messages by conversation, by who sent them, by label, by whether you were mentioned, by whether you were notified, and by whether you've listened to them yet.
- Read a message and its transcript, list recent messages, and work through a whole conversation.
- Look up people, and the conversations and workspaces you share with them.
- Check your notification inbox: mentions, invites, and workspace activity.
Summarize and analyze
- Summarize a whole conversation rather than a single message.
- Run one of your AI Actions over a message or a set of them, and read back results generated earlier.
Action items
- Pull action items out of one message, or out of several at once, which catches a commitment that spans more than one.
- List what's assigned to you and what you created, either in one conversation or across everything.
- Create items, edit the wording, reassign them, and set due dates.
- Move an item between suggested, to-do, and done, or delete it.
These are the same action items you see in Notebook → Action Items, so anything your assistant changes shows up in the app.
Send and create
- Create a voice memo from text, spoken in your text-to-speech or cloned voice, or from an audio file.
- Post a message into an existing conversation, or send a direct message.
- Attach links to a message.
Share and forward
- Create a shareable link to a message: public, restricted to specific people or a workspace, or forwarded onto another message.
- Look up a link you created earlier.
Organize
- Create, rename, move, and delete folders.
- Move a message or voice memo into a folder.
What it can't do
The tools don't cover the whole app. An assistant can't delete your messages, start a new conversation, change your account settings, or manage workspace membership. Those stay in Carbon Voice.
