Get a daily summary of your important emails
A journalist gave Muse access to his inbox, full of press pitches and newsletters, and asked for a daily summary of the important emails. He writes that it did this "admirably well". Muse also suggested a subscription he could cancel. The same test showed limits: it struggled with the school apps and could not read WhatsApp messages. He is himself cautious about such broad access, so start with email only.

Try it with Muse
Read my email from the last 24 hours and send me a summary every morning at [time]. Include only emails that need a reply or action, and write the sender, what it is about and any deadline. Leave press pitches and newsletters alone. Do not reply to, delete or move anything. You are done when I have received one summary and have said whether the selection was right.
