§ Automation + macros
Automations
Automations turn dictation into actions and turn meetings into emails. Macros wire trigger phrases to insert-text, app-command, or shell-command actions behind explicit allowlists. Email automation drafts or sends meeting recaps via Gmail, Microsoft Graph, or SMTP.
Automations
Automations overview
Two distinct automation surfaces. Dictation macros wire trigger phrases to actions (insert text, run an app command, run a shell command). Email automation drafts or sends meeting recaps. Both opt-in, both deny-by-default, both audited.
Opt-inMacros
Dictation macros
Speak a trigger phrase mid-dictation; Dettivo runs the mapped action. Insert text, run an allowlisted app command, or run an allowlisted shell command. Three safety policies (Always confirm, First-use confirm, Auto-allow after opt-in). Every run audited.
