Triage my 9,209 unread emails into a daily response folder

Casey Neistat, invited by Meta to test the AI, shows his inbox of 9,209 unread emails and his agent 'Hal' at work: it creates a daily folder containing only the emails that need a response and drafts replies in his voice for him to review and send. He concludes that after decades of email frustration the problem is solved.

Why it’s worth knowing

A five-figure unread backlog became a small daily folder with drafts that sound like him.
