What this template does
Polls Gmail every 5 minutes for unread emails in INBOX, filters out newsletters and no-reply/notification senders using smart pattern matching, generates professional context-aware reply drafts using Claude AI (Haiku), and saves them as Gmail drafts for human review before sending. Never sends emails automatically — all replies are drafts only. Includes RootBrief analytics. 6 nodes: Schedule (5min) → Gmail Read → Filter → Claude AI → Gmail Draft → RootBrief.
