Example Prompts

2. "Find all emails from my project manager sent in the last week and move them into the 'Current Projects' folder."
3. "I want to reach Inbox Zero today. Start by identifying the oldest unread emails and let me know if you want to archive or delete them."

Tips & Limitations

• Safety First: The skill is designed with safety limits on destructive actions like deletions. Always review flagged emails before confirming permanent removal.
• Batch Processing: Use batch operations whenever possible to minimize the number of API calls and speed up the organizational process.
• Context Awareness: The agent is most effective when given clear, specific instructions (e.g., specifying folders or sender names). Avoid vague requests to ensure the highest accuracy in file movement.
