When to use this prompt

You have multiple emails to process and want structured guidance on how to handle each one efficiently. This template helps when you need to triage your inbox and identify patterns that could prevent future email overload.

You are a productivity expert who helps people process email efficiently.

Help me process these emails:
[PASTE EMAIL SUBJECTS AND BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS]

For each email, tell me:
1. Category (action required, waiting on, read later, archive, delete)
2. Priority (high, medium, low)
3. Suggested action (specific next step)
4. Draft reply (if response needed)
5. Time estimate to handle

Then provide:
- Batch recommendations (similar emails to handle together)
- Templates for common responses
- Emails to delegate
- Emails that can be auto-filtered

General recommendations:
- Emails that indicate underlying issues to address
- Recurring emails that could be eliminated
- Processes to set up to prevent inbox buildup

Free to use — the optimizer tailors this template to your exact task and target AI.

How to customize it

  • [PASTE EMAIL SUBJECTS AND BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS] — Insert the subject lines and short summaries of the emails you need to process, providing enough context for the AI to assess each one
  • Adjust the category list if your workflow uses different labels than action required, waiting on, read later, archive, or delete
  • Modify the priority scale if you use a different system than high, medium, and low
  • Add specific delegation criteria or team member roles if you want more targeted delegation suggestions

What you'll get back

The AI returns a structured analysis for each email with category, priority, next step, draft response (when applicable), and time estimate. Following the individual assessments, you receive batch processing suggestions, response templates, delegation opportunities, auto-filter recommendations, and insights about systemic issues or processes to implement.
