Stop Using Email Rules (Do This Instead)

My inbox used to stress me out — not because of spam, but because everything felt important.

Rules, folders, and labels help… until they don’t. Email isn’t predictable, context changes, and I found myself managing rules instead of actually focusing on what mattered.

So instead of adding more filters, I built an AI agent that can actually read emails, make judgment calls, and explain every decision it makes.

In this video, I’ll show you:

  • Why traditional email rules break down
  • How an AI agent decides whether an email needs action
  • When it prepares a draft reply vs. when it interrupts me
  • Why transparency is the key to trusting AI with real workflows

This same pattern applies beyond email: support tickets, sales leads, internal requests — anywhere inputs are messy and judgment matters.
