What is Inbox Triage?

Inbox Triage connects your existing email accounts (Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, and other mail) to an AI app such as Claude or ChatGPT. Your AI can then read, sort, and clean up your mail, and write replies that you approve before they send.

What it does

Inbox Triage is not a new email app and it does not give you a new address. It links the inboxes people already write to, so your AI can work in them. You can connect up to 10 inboxes on Pro (3 on the free trial) and mix providers on one plan.

Once an inbox is connected, your AI can:

  • List and read recent mail across all your inboxes at once.
  • Show you what needs you first, with mail from your VIPs at the top.
  • Give you a short daily brief of what needs you.
  • Archive or move to Trash, with an undo for each change. Report spam after you approve it.
  • Filter spam and learn from the mail you report.
  • Find newsletters and unsubscribe, after you say yes.
  • Write draft replies in your mailbox. It sends only emails you approve, or, if you turn on Send on my behalf in Settings, simple replies to people already in the thread, after a hold you can cancel.

On our website, the Activity page shows what your AI did, with undo. You approve sends and spam reports in your AI app, or on an approval page we link you to.

How it works

Your AI app talks to Inbox Triage over MCP, an open standard for connecting AI apps to other services. You add one address to your AI app, https://getinboxtriage.com/mcp, and sign in once. You connect each inbox on our website by signing in with Google or Microsoft, or by entering an app password on a private form. Passwords never go through the chat.

Where your mail lives

Your mail stays with your provider. We keep a copy of the newest 300 or so messages in each folder you sync (Gmail starts at 40 and fills in over its first few syncs), so your AI can work quickly. See What we store.
