Use case

Sort your inbox every weekday with an AI agent

A Monmo agent can run a weekday routine on your inbox. At 7:30 it reads what arrived, sorts it into needs you, for your information and clutter, drafts replies to the emails that need one and checks your calendar where a time is involved. You get a short list of what needs a decision. Sending and archiving wait for your approval.

How the agent does it

  1. 01

    You set the routine once

    Agree the time, the mailbox and your rules in chat: weekdays at 7:30, anything from a customer comes first, newsletters can go. The routine then runs each morning without a reminder from you.

  2. 02

    It reads everything that arrived

    The agent opens each new thread in Gmail, including the earlier messages, so a reply of two words is understood in context. Forty-six emails overnight is an ordinary morning.

  3. 03

    It sorts by what you have to do

    Three groups: needs you, for your information, and clutter. A buyer asking to move Thursday's meeting needs you. A payout notice is information. A sale announcement is clutter.

  4. 04

    It checks the facts before drafting

    If an email asks for a time, it looks at your Google Calendar. If it is an invoice, it compares the amount with the purchase order. The draft is written from what it found.

  5. 05

    It drafts the replies

    Each email that needs an answer gets a draft in your tone, short and specific: yes to 3 PM on Thursday, same place. Drafts wait for you. Nothing is sent at this stage.

  6. 06

    It tells you what needs you

    A summary is waiting when you start work: three emails need you, each with a draft or a recommendation, seven are summarised in a line apiece, and thirty-six are proposed for the archive.

  7. 07

    It acts on your answer

    Tell it to send the reply to Hana, and a card shows the email and the recipient. When you allow it, the email goes. Moving the meeting in your calendar and telling a colleague in Slack are asked about the same way.

What is waiting when you start work

  • A short list of the emails that need you, each with a draft or a recommendation
  • One-line summaries of the messages that are only for your information
  • Newsletters and promotions proposed for archiving, cleared with one approval
  • Calendar changes and Slack notes prepared to go with the replies you approve

When it asks you

Reading, sorting and drafting need no approval. Sending a reply, archiving or labelling mail, changing a calendar event and posting in Slack each wait for your OK. One card can cover a batch, such as thirty-six newsletters to archive.

How to ask

  • Every weekday at 7:30, go through my inbox. Tell me what needs me today, draft the replies and list what can be archived. Never send without asking.
  • Find every email from the last two weeks that asks me a question and that I have not answered. Draft a reply for each, oldest first.
  • When an email arrives from anyone at Yamato Outdoor, read it straight away, tell me in chat what they want and draft a reply.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Can an AI agent manage my email inbox?

Yes. A Monmo agent reads new mail on a schedule or as it arrives, sorts it by what you need to do, drafts replies and tells you which messages need a decision. It works through the Gmail or Outlook account you connect. It does not send, archive or delete anything until you allow it.

Does the agent send emails on its own?

No. It drafts, and you decide. When you tell it to send, a card shows what will be sent, to whom and why, and you allow or decline. One card can cover several replies at once. A reply you decline stays a draft, so you can edit it and send it yourself.

Is it safe to let an AI agent read my email?

The agent reads through the account you connect, and you choose which agents may use it. Connecting Gmail does not start any reading. That begins when you agree a routine or ask for a task. You can watch the agent's screen while it works and disconnect the account at any time.

How does it know which emails are important?

From what you tell it and from your corrections. Start with a few rules: customers and your manager first, invoices to check against purchase orders, newsletters as clutter. When it sorts something wrongly, say so, and it keeps that as a preference for the mornings that follow.

Does it work with Outlook as well as Gmail?

Yes. Outlook is in the app directory alongside Gmail, and the routine is the same: read, sort, draft, ask. If the connection cannot do something, such as a setting only the website offers, the agent opens the mailbox in its own browser after you have signed in there.
