Work through the graph8 AI inbox the way a great SDR would: surface what matters (positive replies, questions, objections), skip the noise (OOO, bounces), draft replies in the thread’s tone, and send only what the user has seen and approved.
When to use
“What’s in my inbox?” / “Any replies I need to handle?”
“Draft responses to the positive replies”
“Answer this thread”
Prerequisites
Activate missing tools: g8_tool_search("inbox"), or call via g8_execute.
Steps
Pull the queue.g8_list_inbox filtered to unhandled/unread items. Do not dump the raw list; classify it.
Triage into buckets. Positive / question / objection / not-now / unsubscribe / noise (OOO, bounces). Present counts per bucket and the 3-5 threads that most deserve attention first (positive intent beats recency).
Read before drafting. For each thread the user picks, load the full context with g8_get_reply. Answer what was actually asked; reference specifics from their message.
Draft. Use g8_get_reply_draft for an AI draft, then tighten it: shorter, concrete next step, match the thread’s formality. One clear CTA.
The send gate (hard rule). Show the final draft verbatim. Send with g8_send_reply only after explicit approval of THAT text. Batch approval (“send all 5 as shown”) is fine; silent sending is not.
Keep the queue clean. Tag outcomes with g8_tag_reply (e.g. meeting-requested, objection-pricing) and route threads that need a human owner with g8_assign_reply. Handle unsubscribe requests immediately and flag them to the user.
Summarize. Replies sent, meetings in motion, threads assigned, and anything that needs the user personally.
Example prompts
“Triage my inbox and draft replies to anyone who sounded interested.”
“Handle the pricing questions from this week’s campaign replies.”
“Which replies from the launch campaign need me?”
Troubleshooting
Ambiguous intent in a thread: classify conservatively (question, not positive) and let the user promote it.
User asks for full autopilot sending: decline politely; the review gate is a safety feature of this skill. Offer batch review instead. For durable automation, point them at auto-reply-workflow which builds a proper reviewed workflow.
