Task 02 of 5

Triage Inbox and Draft Replies

Summarize long threads, pull out the important messages, and draft faster replies without starting from zero.

How to approach this

Ask AI to group messages by urgency first, then draft replies only for the top few. That keeps your inbox triage focused on what matters instead of making every email look equally important.
