The AI checks my email every day for the Shipaton flight email

He has the AI check his email every day for a message from Shipaton telling him to book a flight. He is still waiting for that email to land.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. Sets the AI to check his email every day
  2. The AI looks for a message from Shipaton about booking a flight

Why it’s worth knowing

His flight booking starts with one email landing, so he put the AI on daily inbox watch instead of checking it himself.
