Use case overview

A parent's agent labels school and parent emails, drafts replies she edits and sends, and asks before adding dates to her calendar.

Reported experience

  1. What they did

    She set up a Gmail label, "School + Parent", that automatically collects mail from teachers, school admin and PTA contacts. A GPT-based agent, connected through Gmail and ChatGPT, scans that folder once a day and writes a morning summary of key points, deadlines and needed replies. It drafts replies to routine requests, which she edits and sends. It asks before adding events to her calendar.

  2. How it went

    She says she no longer misses events or answers late, and her inbox feels manageable. The source gives no measured results, such as time saved.

  3. Worth knowing

    The agent is built from a Gmail filter plus a ChatGPT-based agent. Replies are drafted from her stated preferences, and she edits each one before sending.

Example prompts

Try with Lindy
Set up an assistant that watches my inbox for emails from [school domains or sender names] and from other parents, and labels them [labels, e.g. School, Activities, Permission slips]. For each one that needs a response, write a draft reply in my voice and leave it for me to edit and send. If an email mentions a date or event, ask me before adding it to my calendar. Stop when the labeling and drafting are working on my last [number] emails.
