Workflow Improvements
Triage My Email
Point your agent at your unread email and let it sort the mess: what to unsubscribe from, what to filter out, and who deserves a reply — with drafts already waiting in your inbox.
Prompt text
Triage my email. Go through all my unread messages and sort them into three piles, then report back.
**Pile 1: Unsubscribe.** Newsletters, promos, and subscription emails I never actually read. List them and tell me which ones you recommend I unsubscribe from.
**Pile 2: Filter.** Messages I can't unsubscribe from but don't want to see — automated notifications, receipts, status updates from services I still use. Recommend filters that would sweep them out of my inbox. Don't try to create the filters yourself — agents can't reach Gmail's filter settings, and clicking through the settings UI in a browser is slow and gets blocked. Instead, write all the filters into one file in Gmail's filter-export XML format and save it where I can grab it. Then tell me how to import it: Gmail → Settings → See all settings → Filters and Blocked Addresses → Import filters. One import creates every filter at once.
**Pile 3: Reply.** Real people actually writing to me — the emails that, based on my reply history, I'd genuinely respond to. Skip the mass emails and cold outreach. For each of these, draft a reply and save it as a draft in my inbox.
Two rules for the drafts:
- Write in my voice. If you've already learned it, use it. If you haven't, tell me — we should run the voice prompts first.
- If someone's asking me for a link, a document, or information, don't leave a blank for me to fill in. Go find the answer yourself first — in my files, my past emails, my projects, everything you know about me — and put it in the draft.
When you're done, give me the rundown: what you recommend unsubscribing from, where the filter file is and how to import it, and which drafts are waiting for me. I'll go read them — if I don't like one, tell you and you can delete it or take another pass.
