Sylvie's Email Management
A system for Sylvie's work email that learns her preferences, so AI sorts most of it, Fae handles the routine and Sylvie sees only what needs her.
Sylvie's Email Management
Lead document: Managing Sylvie's work email (SCQH and plan). The situation, goal, issue tree and plan of work live there; this record does not repeat them.
Supporting: rulebook inputs, a running log of Sylvie's preferences that feeds the rulebook.
Questions for Sylvie: questions-for-sylvie, open questions about people and threads, gone through at the weekly check-in (lip-kr1.15).
Tasks: Beads epic lip-kr1, plus lip-87i (Fae's SCQ and plan task, under the planning-practice epic lip-q31).
Where it stands (2026-10-22)
Summarised from the SCQH and its 21 Oct addendum; details are there.
- Goal: within about a month of the pilot, AI sorts ~80% of Sylvie's work email (~70 a week), Fae handles ~10%, and Sylvie sees only the ~10% that needs her.
- Done:
- Inbox cleared, with mail older than two months archived (onboarding #94, #103).
- Delegated access set up (#112).
- Sylvie's preferences agreed on 2 Sep and 15 Oct, logged in the rulebook inputs.
- Plan approved by Rufus on 30 Sep.
- Targets and cover agreed with Sylvie.
- Next: the AI analysis of one week of email (
lip-kr1.7, due 29 Oct). It needs Sylvie's OK to turn forwarding back on. After that: draft the rulebook, check it with Sylvie, then two pilot weeks. The plan dates will be reset once the analysis is done. - Out of scope for now: Sylvie's personal Gmail. Access was blocked by a 2FA prompt on 2 Sep.
- Progress: 4 of the epic's 14 Beads tasks are done.
