What was done
Waldo is the founder of the Cropped app and had five or more overflowing inboxes for nearly 7 years. Now he has reached zero with Claude Duet, which also tracks his projects and calls him in when something needs a decision. He writes that his average stress level on his Garmin watch fell from 70 to 39. The post is a thank-you note to Anthropic, but it does not show how the cleanup worked.
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
Go through the inboxes [accounts]. Sort everything into four groups: can be deleted, can be archived, needs a reply and needs a decision from me. Draft the replies, but send nothing. Make a short list of senders I can unsubscribe from. Show me the groups and the drafts before anything is deleted, archived or sent. You are done when the inboxes are empty and I have approved everything that was done.

Done when. The inboxes are empty and you have approved everything that was done.
