Beginner · 10 min · Needs: Gmail or Outlook

🌱 New here?

Meta Muse splits your unread into three piles — urgent, can wait, newsletters — and drafts the replies for the urgent ones. You read them, tweak what you want, and send nothing until you say so.

⚡ Power controls

Scope to specific labels or folders, keep send-permission off, and run one side chat per project or client.

Steps

  1. Connect Gmail or Outlook: Gmail setup → · Outlook setup →.
  2. Paste the prompt → Muse sorts your last 20 unread into urgent / can wait / newsletters.
  3. Review the drafts Muse wrote and send nothing until you approve it.

Ask Muse — copy this

Summarize my last 20 unread emails into: urgent / can wait / newsletters. Draft replies for the urgent 3 but don't send.

Inbox zero with Meta Muse: questions

Will Meta Muse send emails from my inbox?
Only if you turn that on. Keep send permission off, read the drafts it writes, and send only what you approve yourself.
How long does inbox setup take?
About 10 minutes: connect Gmail or Outlook, paste the prompt, then work through the three piles Muse makes.
Can I limit what Muse reads in my inbox?
Yes — scope it to specific labels or folders, start read-only, and disconnect in Muse → Connectors whenever you want.
