The AI built a label and filter system for a crowded inbox

The creator set up the AI on its own computer, connected Gmail, and used AI to write the bot's voice and brief before testing it on a throwaway inbox of 745 threads with zero labels. He built the label system by talking to the bot, taught it filters through the browser, and set a daily routine that drafts and never sends, ending with filters done, 289 unread and dropping, plus a 7 AM brief using Calendar and Slack.

How it works

  1. Creator set up the AI on its own computer
  2. Creator connected Gmail from the marketplace
  3. The AI wrote the bot's voice and brief
  4. Creator built the label system by talking to the bot and taught it filters through the browser
  5. Creator set a daily routine that drafts and never sends
  6. Filters finished with 289 unread and dropping and a 7 AM brief with Calendar and Slack was set up

Why it’s worth knowing

The bot was taught a label system by conversation and ended with filters done, a drafts only safety rule, and a 7 AM brief across Gmail, Calendar and Slack
