# 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](https://help.carbonvoice.app/account-and-settings/inbox): mentions, invites,
  and workspace activity.

## Summarize and analyze

- Summarize a whole conversation rather than a single message.
- Run one of your [AI Actions](https://help.carbonvoice.app/ai/transform-with-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](https://help.carbonvoice.app/meeting-notes/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](https://help.carbonvoice.app/voice-and-language/voice-cloning), 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](https://help.carbonvoice.app/voice-memos/share-a-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.
