    Sabi reaches over 3,000 tools through Pipedream and Composio, with Gmail, HubSpot, Stripe, QuickBooks, Slack and Shopify among the named ones.

    How does an AI assistant connect to an app without an API key?

    Through OAuth: you sign in to the app once, the app confirms the connection, and Sabi never sees your password. Gmail, Outlook and Microsoft 365 connect this way with a single tap.

    A few apps still work on an API key or an app password, such as custom IMAP email. Those are encrypted in a vault. Sabi connects to Gmail, Outlook and Microsoft 365 through OAuth, so there is no API key to find and no password to hand over.

    What happens when I ask Sabi to connect an app by text?

    You name the app in a text, Sabi replies with a connect link, you sign in to that app, and the connection is live for the next request. There is no dashboard to configure and no prompt to learn.

    For email, that step sits inside a setup that takes about 60 seconds: text Sabi, connect your email with one tap, start handing things off. Connecting your email to Sabi is one tap inside a setup that takes about 60 seconds.

    What does an AI assistant do with the apps once they are connected?

    It does the work the apps hold. From Gmail or Outlook, Sabi triages the inbox and drafts replies. From Google Calendar, she books, reschedules and protects focus time. From HubSpot, Salesforce or HighLevel, she pulls leads and follows up on a cadence you approve, with cold email through Instantly.

    From Stripe, QuickBooks, HubSpot, Google Sheets and Plaid, she sends a daily or weekly KPI snapshot by text, imports bank transactions into Google Sheets, and reads Shopify store data. Sabi turns a connected Stripe, QuickBooks or Shopify account into a daily or weekly snapshot of revenue, leads and conversion by text.

    Can I disconnect an app from my AI assistant later?

    Yes, any time, from inside Sabi or by revoking access at the source, such as Google or Stripe. You can review and adjust her access whenever you like, no support ticket.

    Two limits worth knowing: Sabi is single-user today, so the connections belong to one founder's account, and Slack and Discord messages are not covered by approval rules yet. Any app connected to Sabi can be disconnected from inside Sabi or revoked at the provider at any time.

    How to connect an app to Sabi: step by step

    1. Text Sabi the app you want, for example "connect my HubSpot".
    2. Tap the link she sends and sign in to the app. Sabi never sees your password.
    3. Set an approval rule before the first send, such as "draft everything for me first".
    4. Ask for the first job in plain words: "follow up with last week's leads" or "send me revenue every Monday".
    5. Disconnect from inside Sabi whenever an app stops being useful.

    Common mistakes with AI assistant integrations

    • Hunting for an API key. None is needed for Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365, Google Calendar or the other OAuth apps. Sign in once and you are done.
    • Connecting everything on day one. Start with email and calendar, hand off one job, then add the CRM and money tools as the next job needs them.
    • Expecting the approval rule to cover Slack. Approval rules cover email and texts; Slack and Discord messages are not covered yet.
    • Assuming an app not on the list is unsupported. The named apps are the common ones; over 3,000 tools are reachable, so ask Sabi by text.

    Connect your first app in about 60 seconds

    Starter credits are free, there is no card and no API key, and the connection starts from a text.
