Gmail Curation
Current Status
- Inbox: Started at ~11,145 unread, now under control
- Storage: Was at 98% (14.76/15 GB), ongoing archival
- Approach: Collaborative - Ani filters future, Casey bulk-archives past
- Trust level: Full autonomous curation authorized
The Workflow
Phase 1: Manual review together — feel out patterns Phase 2: Document heuristics (this file) Phase 3: Build decision trees Phase 4: Autonomous execution with checkpoints
Current pattern:
- Ani analyzes sender, creates Gmail filter for future
- Casey searches inbox with filter criteria
- Casey bulk-selects all matching, archives/deletes
- Repeat until inbox zero
