What problem does it solve?

Inbox overflow makes it hard to quickly decide what to read, archive, file, or revisit, causing important messages to get buried.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Category-first triage: Work through priority categories in order (priority, personal, invitations, notifications, newsletters).
  • Thread-based review and actions: Read the thread for actionable items, then archive, move to folders, mark done, pin, snooze, or set aside.
  • Batch handling for high-volume categories: Efficiently archive multiple items at once and verify the inbox is cleared.

Quick Start

Ask an AI agent to run the spark-recipe-inbox-zero workflow to scan your Inbox by category, review unread threads, apply appropriate actions, and confirm when nothing remains unread.

Category-first triage scans your inbox by priority, reviews unread threads, applies appropriate actions across people mail and invitations, and confirms when nothing remains unread.
