How to sort an inbox and draft replies for messages that need you with Rome

Have Rome archive the noise, flag urgent mail, and draft replies that you review before sending.

Credentials. Granting Rome access to a mailbox lets it read every message and change labels or archive state, so use a narrow, revocable grant and review the action log.

Who it is forA busy professional whose inbox fills with routine mail and urgent items mixed together.

The problemSorting mail by hand takes time, and urgent messages get buried under newsletters and notifications.

The outcomeThe inbox is sorted, urgent messages are flagged, and draft replies wait for your review.

What you need first

  • Docker with Docker Compose (for self-hosting), or a Rome Cloud preview account at https://romeos.cc/login
  • A clone of the rome-os/rome repository, or the quickstart script
  • Access to the accounts or data the use case needs, such as a repository, inbox, or chat channel, granted only as far as the task requires

Steps

  1. Run git clone https://github.com/rome-os/rome.git
  2. Run cd rome
  3. Run ./scripts/quickstart-docker.sh
  4. Open http://localhost:7663, connect the mailbox you want Rome to sort, and confirm the access you grant.
  5. Ask Rome: "Sort my inbox. Archive the noise, flag anything urgent, and draft replies for messages that need me."

Prompt for your agent

Using the rome-os/rome instance at http://localhost:7663, ask Rome to sort <mailbox-name>, archive routine mail, flag urgent messages, and draft replies for messages that need a human answer. Expected output: a list of archived, flagged, and drafted messages. Verify that no reply was sent without your review.

Caveat. The README does not document a mail connector or which mail providers are supported, so confirm the mailbox integration in the docs before planning around it.
