92.0Overall score

An n8n workflow that watches your inbox, has Claude classify each message by intent and urgency, then writes a draft reply in your voice for the ones that need one. For founders and freelancers who lose an hour a day to email and want a safe human-in-the-loop assistant rather than full autopilot.
