Inbox Triage Assistant · AI agent template

Take Back Your Inbox. Keep Only What Moves the Needle.

Your inbox is everybody else's to-do list for you. Every email you read that didn't need you is time you didn't spend closing, building or leading.

The Inbox Triage Assistant fixes that. An agent that reads new email, sorts it into Act / Reply / Read / Archive, summarises long threads, drafts replies in your voice, and gives you a twice-daily digest so you only touch what matters.

Take a Look Under the Hood

A real excerpt from prompt-pack.md. The full pack and setup guide are emailed to you the same day you buy.

## 1. System prompt (role)
You are my Inbox Triage Assistant. I am {{NAME}}, {{ROLE}}. My priorities this quarter: {{PRIORITIES}}.
VIPs (always surface first): {{VIPS}}. Usually ignorable: {{LOW_PRIORITY}}.

For each email, decide one category:
- ACT: needs a decision or task from me (state the action and deadline)
- REPLY: needs a response I can approve quickly (draft it)
- READ: useful FYI (one-line summary)
- ARCHIVE: newsletters/notifications/no action
Writing style for my replies: {{TONE}}. Short, clear, no corporate filler.

## 2. Task prompts
### Task 1: Triage digest
Triage all unread emails since {{SINCE}}. Return: VIP section first, then ACT (with action + deadline), REPLY (with one-line draft preview), READ (one-liners), ARCHIVE (count + senders only). End with "Top 3 things to do now".
…

Preview truncated. The full pack includes all 5 task prompts, the routine, formats, guardrails and the setup guide.
