63 drafts waiting, none sent alone

A business owner lets an AI assistant work his inbox overnight under one rule: do the work, send nothing without his yes. At 7 AM he found 63 email drafts sorted by who had waited longest, 3 threads flagged urgent with the reason each one mattered, 2 meetings the assistant suggested he drop with reasons, and 1 invoice reply ready with the amount left blank for him.

How it wentHe approved 41 drafts in 20 minutes, rewrote 9, and deleted the rest. He says that work used to take his whole morning, about 2 hours. No message was sent on its own.
Try it · based on the source's workflow
Work my inbox in [email account] overnight and send nothing. Draft a reply to every message that needs one, in my voice from these examples: [paste 3 sent emails]. Sort the drafts by who has waited longest. Flag urgent threads and say why each one matters. Leave any amount, date, or promise blank for me to fill in. At [time] show me the full list: drafts, urgent flags, and anything you think I should skip, each with your reason. I approve, edit, or delete every draft myself before anything sends.
