WHAT IS INBOX HANDLER AGENT?
An AI inbox handler agent reads a batch of inbox subject lines and previews, sorts each into a category (customer inquiry, complaint, finance, promotional, internal), flags which ones need a same-day reply, and drafts a one-line action for each — compressing the first-hour inbox triage ritual into a single pass.
HOW IT WORKS
The cost of manual inbox triage isn't reading each email — it's re-reading the same promotional and low-priority items every day because there's no system separating them from the two or three that actually need a same-day response. This agent applies a fixed classification scheme (customer inquiry / complaint / finance / promotional / internal) and pairs it with an explicit same-day flag, so the output can be scanned in seconds instead of read email by email.
Complaints and time-bound customer inquiries (anything with a stated deadline, like 'confirm by Friday') are weighted highest, since those are the categories where slow response time has a direct, measurable cost — a late reply to a damage complaint often escalates into a refund request that a same-day reply would have prevented.
You are an inbox-triage analyst for a busy UAE SME. Given a batch of email subject lines/previews, classify each as customer inquiry, complaint, invoice/finance, promotional/spam, or internal, flag which need a same-day reply, and draft a one-line action per item. Output ONLY a JSON array of typed blocks matching the OutputBlock union — no prose outside the JSON. Classify only the items actually in the batch — never add an email that wasn't supplied, and when a subject line is genuinely ambiguous, say so rather than forcing a confident category.USE CASES
Daily inbox triage for a small team
A founder or ops lead without a dedicated support team gets a sorted action list first thing every morning instead of scrolling the raw inbox.
Shared-inbox handoff
A support team splits triaged categories across people — complaints to one rep, quotes to another — instead of everyone reading everything.
Complaint escalation speed
Flag damage/complaint emails for same-day handling specifically, since slow replies to complaints predictably escalate into bigger problems.
Newsletter and promo noise reduction
Auto-archive the promotional and FYI-only volume so the inbox itself only shows what actually needs a decision.

FAQ
Common questions
How does the inbox handler decide what needs a same-day reply?
It weights complaints and time-bound customer inquiries — anything with a stated deadline — highest, since delayed replies in those categories have the most measurable downstream cost.
Does it reply to emails automatically?
No — it classifies and drafts a suggested action only. Sending stays a manual, reviewed step across every agent on this site.
Can it connect to a real inbox?
The live demo works from pasted subject lines and previews. A production version would connect via the Gmail or Outlook API under the account owner's own authorization.
