Explicit classification before Gmail actions
The working problem
A busy inbox needs consistent sorting before a person can decide what deserves attention.
The build approach
The workflow watches new mail, extracts sender context with a safe fallback, classifies the message, then maps the result to a Gmail label.
What the build doesNew threads become a clearer operating queue. The four categories stay visible and editable, rather than hiding the routing logic in an open-ended prompt.
