Email Auto Classifier

Problem

Email overload is usually not a feature gap, but a boundary problem: project notices, approvals, CCs, and external invitations pile up in one inbox, prompting repeated opens, ad-hoc replies, and missed priorities. Email Auto Classifier targets that scenario and focuses on building a workable triage system rather than writing email content.

How It Works

It starts with a lightweight audit of daily volume, main senders, current workflow, and mail client. Then it designs 3-5 top-level categories and defines boundaries for urgent, important, deferrable, and skippable mail. Outputs may include:
- Filter rules: actionable rules for a mail client
- Daily SOP: fixed batches for processing the inbox
- Reply templates: faster loops for common requests
- Cleanup list: sources to unsubscribe or mute

Boundaries

It does not connect to mailboxes, read or store message content, configure anti-spam systems, or manage marketing campaigns. Rules depend on the patterns users describe, so context-dependent urgency can be missed. Check auto-archived folders for the first two weeks to validate accuracy.
