Tell me what in my inbox I need to deal with this week
A non-developer connected the AI to his Gmail — 1,412 unread messages — and asked what he needed to deal with that week: six items came back in about nine seconds, five of them right, but the sixth claimed he had confirmed attending an October event he had actually declined eleven days earlier, the summary having dropped the word 'unfortunately'. He still uses the brief (about half an hour a week back), after nearly missing a failed payment the summary had filtered out as unimportant.

How it works
- Connect the AI to Gmail through the Google Workspace connector
- Ask what he needs to deal with this week
- Receive a six-item brief in about nine seconds
- Check it against his own sent mail and catch the item that inverted his decline into a confirmation
- Keep using the brief with a stricter prompt that forces every point to quote its source sentence or be deleted
Why it’s worth knowing
Five of six items were exactly right — and the sixth calmly rewrote his 'I can't make it' into a confirmation.
