What they did
She created the label "School + Parents" to collect emails from teachers, the school office and the parents' association. An agent built on ChatGPT reads the folder once a day, writes a summary with deadlines and what needs a reply, and drafts responses to routine requests. It asks before putting events on the calendar.
How it went
She says she no longer misses deadlines.
Good to know
It drafts but doesn't send: she edits and sends the replies herself.
The prompt
Read today's emails with the label [name]. Give me: 1) deadlines and dates, 2) what requires a reply, 3) a short, polite draft for each routine reply. Don't add anything to the calendar without asking.
Replace what is in [brackets]. Prompt written by us from the account, not a literal copy of the source. Do not paste other people’s personal data (privacy laws such as LGPD and GDPR apply).
