Automate Email Triage with an AI Analyst Table
Turn your unread Outlook inbox into a prioritized action table.
Instruct Copilot to act as an email analyst to scan unread messages and generate a structured table prioritized by urgency.
The Scenario
You return from a week-long vacation or a full day of meetings to 100+ unread emails. You need to quickly identify which ones are critical 'fires' that need your attention immediately.
Before & after
Manually read each email, identify the sender's request, and flag or move them into folders based on urgency. This usually takes 30–45 minutes for a full inbox.
With Copilot, you can request a prioritized table of all unread emails. This takes about 2–3 minutes to generate and review.
The Prompt
You are my email analyst. Review all unread emails in my outlook inbox and summarize each one in a structured table. Prioritize them based on urgency and clearly state if action is required from me.
Use Copilot as an 'email analyst' to scan your Outlook inbox. It can identify which messages require immediate action and which can wait, presenting them in a structured table.
