Build your own filter against unwanted sales emails
A user gets about 500 emails a week across 3 inboxes, and about 50 a week are cold sales emails Gmail misses. With Claude Code he built a filter that sorts each new email into 3 levels within seconds. Known senders always get through, the rest is judged by a language model, and each week he gets a digest he answers in plain text. He puts the cost at about $2 a month, but needs cloud services and technical skill.

How to do it
- Paste the prompt into the tool, and replace the text in brackets with your own.
- Read the answer through. Do not send, delete or publish anything until you have seen it yourself.
- Check the original before you trust a figure, a name or a date.
Try it with Claude Code
Help me build a filter for my inbox. Senders I have written to before, and calendar invites, should always get through. The rest should be judged: plain sales emails go to spam, unclear ones are archived with a label, and the rest stays in the inbox. Show me the rules and a test sort of last week's email before anything is moved. You are done when I have approved the rules and know where wrongly sorted emails end up.
