Where to run it

No-code: Zapier Agents, Lindy or n8n (n8n can be self-hosted for privacy).
In a chat assistant: paste the instructions into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini with the matching connectors turned on.
Local: run the reasoning step on a local model. See the model picker for hardware guidance.

Agent instructions (copy into your agent)

Set up a new bot for me I can trigger to manage my inbox, in its own dedicated chat. Walk me through connecting Gmail, then configure it to scan new messages, label and prioritize them, summarize the ones that need my attention, draft replies for routine requests, and identify newsletters or low-value mail I can unsubscribe from. Ask me about my priority senders, labels, response style, and what is sacred, show me the proposed actions before it sends, archives, deletes, or unsubscribes from anything, do the first inbox pass with me watching, then save it.

Always review an agent's permissions before connecting your accounts. Credits & licenses.
