I Let an AI Sort My Inbox for a Month. Here's What Broke.
Automation caught the obvious, missed the subtle, and once sent the wrong reply. Lessons inside.
I wired an automation to triage my inbox and braced for disaster. It was mostly fine.
It caught newsletters and receipts perfectly. It misrouted one client email that looked like spam.
I kept a human review on anything sent, not just sorted. That one rule saved me.
The time saved was real, but the trust had to be earned per category, not granted once.
AI inbox management works as a filter, not as a secretary. Keep the send button human.
