Overview
Your inbox is a chaos engine — urgent client emails buried under newsletters, invoices lost in threads, follow-ups forgotten. Email Triage Agent reads your inbox intelligently, categorises every message by urgency and type, and surfaces what actually needs your attention — so you can hit inbox zero without reading everything yourself.
It drafts contextual replies based on the email content and your history, sets automatic follow-up reminders for unanswered messages, and produces a clean daily digest every morning. Works with Gmail and Outlook via IMAP or API, and integrates directly into your OpenClaw agent workflow.
Use Cases
Inbox TriageProcess and categorise an entire inbox by urgency — urgent, important, low priority, FYI — in one run.
Daily DigestGet a morning briefing of your most important emails with summaries, so you know what needs action before you open a single one.
Draft RepliesGenerate contextual draft replies based on email content — review and send, not write from scratch.
Follow-Up RemindersAutomatically set reminders for emails that haven't been replied to within your configured timeframe.
Email SearchFind specific emails by content, sender, or project without manually searching through threads.
Project CategorisationTag and group emails by project or client automatically, keeping client comms separated and searchable.
