Delegate your inbox triage to an AI coworker

Most knowledge workers lose the first hour of the day to email. Not because the messages are hard, but because triage is repetitive: sort, prioritize, draft, defer.

The pattern that works

1. Define outcomes, not steps. Tell your coworker what "done" looks like: "Summarize overnight mail and flag anything that needs a reply today."

2. Keep humans on the risky sends. Let the AI draft; you approve before anything leaves your account.

3. Reuse your tone. Store persona notes so drafts sound like you, not a template.

What to delegate first

• Overnight summaries with urgency tags
• Draft replies for routine threads
• Follow-up nudges for quiet contacts
• Calendar conflicts surfaced from mail

What to keep

• Term sheets, legal, and HR-sensitive threads until you trust the workflow
• Anything that moves money

John works from your private workspace, connects to Gmail and Calendar, and reports back in Telegram. You delegate in plain language; he closes the loop inside your tools.

Next step: Connect your apps, write a short persona, and delegate one recurring morning brief.
