Inbox triage (consent-first) · Quiet Operators

Intent: reduce cognitive load + prevent dropped threads without sending emails automatically.

Scope

Frequency: daily
Output: a short checklist: (a) needs reply, (b) FYI, (c) archive later

Steps

1) Pull unread (exclude promotions). 2) Cluster into: needs reply / FYI / later. 3) Detect follow-ups: last message from other party + contains ask/ETA/question. 4) Produce a checklist with message IDs/subjects + proposed next action.

Guardrails

No sending emails.
No archiving/deleting/label changes.
Do not quote full bodies; only IDs/subjects.

Receipts

Inbox unread count trend
Number of dropped threads (should go down)
