The Inbox Declutter Tool Solopreneurs Are Missing

Managing email as a solopreneur shouldn't mean constant checking. Here's the 4-step system I use to stay at inbox zero — including the AI agent that does it for me.

Most solopreneurs have their inbox running their day instead of the other way around. In this video I walk through the four tools and automations I use to keep my email at zero: a purpose-built email client, an AI sorting layer, a newsletter triage system, and a Claude Cowork agent that automatically turns actionable emails into Todoist tasks every morning at 8am.
