Finally cracked my email overload with a simple AI filter

I was drowning in email chaos, especially with client quotes and scheduling for my fencing jobs. In my experience, setting up an AI-powered sorting rule that prioritizes messages based on keywords has been a significant improvement, though your mileage may vary. What small AI tweaks have made a noticeable difference in your day-to-day tasks?

Wait, have you actually tried managing hundreds of client emails manually? Those 'simple' folder systems can create just as much overhead as the chaos they're meant to fix.

Email chaos sounds dramatic, but is it really that bad for a fencing business? How many emails are we talking about that require AI intervention? Sometimes people overcomplicate things with tech when a few folders and rules could do the trick. What happens when the AI mis-sorts an important client quote because of a keyword glitch? Isn't there a risk of becoming too dependent on these filters? Maybe the real issue is managing client expectations rather than inbox overload.

After our last fencing event, I had 327 emails in one day. @carter.joseph, I tried the folder system and honestly, I spent more time organizing than responding. Ngl, AI filters sound great until they hide a crucial quote in the 'promotions' abyss.
