Turn mail that asks for something into a to-do
Your AI reads each new mail, and one that asks something of you becomes a to-do note and a notice. It is a ready-made workflow in Minda Super Intelligence, and you can change any step before you save it. It runs in the Minda app on your computer while Minda is open. It starts when a new message arrives.
It runs in the Minda app: Automations → Templates → Turn mail that asks for something into a to-do. Minda Super Intelligence for Windows is coming soon.

What you get
Requests become to-dos When a mail asks you to do something, the AI writes the task in under 12 words and adds the deadline if one is named.
Saved in your Notes The note keeps the sender, the site and the full mail text under the task.
A notice as well A notice titled To do from the sender follows, with the task in it.
Other mail is ignored Mail that asks nothing of you leaves no note and no notice.
Why use this?
Your AI reads each new mail and decides whether it asks you to do something. If it does, the task goes into your Notes with the deadline when one is named, and you get a notice. Mail that asks nothing is left alone.
