An AI named Mrs. Johnson handles my email for me

He no longer gets email notifications. His AI, named Mrs. Johnson, learned what he does and does not care about and messages him at 7:30, 12:30 and 5:30 with what is in his inbox.

How it works

AI agent reads his inbox
It uses what it learned about what he cares about
It messages him at 7:30, 12:30 and 5:30 with what is in the inbox

Why it’s worth knowing

His agent has a name and a schedule. It learned what he cares about, so email waits for 7:30, 12:30 or 5:30 instead of pinging him all day.
