Email autopilot

Each day an email operator triages your inbox into needs-you, routine, and noise, drafts replies for routine threads in your voice, nudges threads that never got an answer, and compiles a digest of what actually needs you — you approve every send.

What it installs

Agents 1

  • Email Operator

    Works the user's inbox through the browser: triage, voice-matched drafts, polite nudges, and a daily needs-you digest — every send behind approval.

Workflows 1

  • Triage, draft, nudge, digest

    Triage new mail into needs-you, routine, and noise, draft voice-matched replies and nudges, compile the daily digest, and hand every send to approval.

Documents 1

  • Triage rules

    The living contract for what needs you, what is routine, what is noise, how you sound, and how silence is chased — updated as you correct the agent's calls.

Goals 1

  • Inbox worked daily, nothing important missed

    Keep the inbox triaged every working day with the user's attention spent only where it is actually needed.

Skills 4

  • inbox-triage

    Scan the inbox by time window rather than read state and sort every thread into three tiers — needs-you as a numbered list, routine to review and draft, noise reported as counts only — never archiving or deleting anything without confirmation. Adapted from ericporres/email-triage-plugin/email-triage.

  • reply-drafting-in-voice

    Draft replies that read as the user wrote them — learned from their sent mail and the voice section of the triage rules — answering only from the thread and known facts, with every unknown marked instead of invented.

  • thread-nudging

    Find threads still waiting on a reply from the other side, and draft polite escalating nudges on the configured cadence — each adding a reason to reply or an easy out, with hard stop conditions.

  • needs-you-digest

    Read the inbox in cost tiers — shortlist by search, exclude noise, batch-read snippets, open full threads only for active conversations — track the waiting-on-them bucket that feeds the chaser, and compile a digest that states its scope and confidence instead of overclaiming. Adapted from coderabbitai/codex-plugin/gmail-inbox-triage.

Schedules 1

  • Daily inbox run

    Works the inbox and compiles the needs-you digest each working day.

Requirements

What this playbook expects to do its job. Task Machine does not verify these — you decide whether your setup is ready.

  • Browser access to your email — The agent works your Gmail or Outlook inbox through its web interface in your browser — reading threads, preparing drafts, and labeling — and pauses for your approval before anything is sent. Until you connect it, it works from forwarded threads and the triage-rules document.
