Triage your inbox in two minutes — not two hours
Zero reads your Gmail, separates signal from noise, and sends a prioritized Slack summary with action items — so you start the day informed, not buried.

Why email overload kills your morning momentum
Monday morning, 8:59 AM. You open Gmail to 200+ unread messages. Most are noise — GitHub notifications, automated alerts, marketing blasts you'll never read. Buried in there: a security alert about exposed credentials in your repo, a failed payment notice from your cloud provider, and a client request that needs a response today. You could spend 30 minutes skimming subject lines, or you could ask Zero to sort the urgent from the ignorable and send you a clean summary in Slack before your first coffee cools down.
How to ask Zero to triage your inbox
@Zero check my Gmail for emails from the past 24 hours. Flag anything urgent — security alerts, billing issues, client messages. Send me a Slack DM with action items at the top and a summary table of everything else.
How Zero turns 200 emails into a 2-minute read
Zero connects to Gmail and pulls recent emails
Zero authenticates with your Gmail account and fetches emails from the time window you specify — typically the past 24 hours. It reads headers, sender info, and snippets to understand what each message is about.
Zero categorizes and prioritizes every message
Zero sorts emails into priority tiers: action-required items like security alerts and client requests rise to the top, informational updates get grouped into a skimmable table, and pure noise (marketing blasts, auto-notifications with no action) gets summarized in one line.
Zero sends a structured Slack summary with action items
The triage report lands in your Slack DM or a team channel — action items first, attention-needed items next, and a one-line summary of the rest. Each item includes the sender, subject, and why it matters. No more scrolling through 200 emails to find the three that matter.

Required integrations: Gmail and Slack
Gmail
Gmail — read access to scan incoming emails, headers, and snippets. Zero only reads; it never modifies or deletes your messages.
Slack
Slack — used to deliver the triage summary as a DM or channel post. Only needed if you want the report in Slack instead of inline.
Best practices for automated email triage
Narrow the scope by asking Zero to focus on specific senders, labels, or folders — "only triage emails from clients and billing" cuts noise further.
Pair with the Slack triage use case for full communication coverage — email + Slack triage covers your two busiest inboxes.
Add context about what counts as urgent for your team. Zero adapts — tell it once that "GitHub security alerts are always P0" and it remembers.
