AI Email Triage & Draft Replies (Gmail)

Every incoming email is read, categorised and labelled by AI — and the ones that need a response arrive with a reply already drafted in your voice, waiting in your drafts folder.

This is the real workflow. Click to pan and zoom the canvas.

The biggest silent time-thief in any business is the inbox. This workflow watches your Gmail, classifies every incoming message (client, invoice, lead, spam, newsletter…), applies the right labels automatically and — for emails that deserve a response — writes a draft reply matched to your tone. You stay in control: nothing is sent without you hitting send. Most owners tell us this alone wins back an hour a day. It is one of our most-deployed automations for a reason.
