Explain it simply
Fyxer connects to Gmail or Outlook. It reads how you have written email before, sorts new mail into labels such as "to respond" or "FYI," and drafts replies in your tone. Nothing is sent until you press send. The prompt on this page is a manual triage prompt for any AI chat. It is not a button inside Fyxer.
How can AI sort my email inbox and draft replies?
An AI email assistant connects to Gmail or Outlook, labels each new email by what it needs, and writes draft replies in your tone that you check and send. At agency Ballpoint, one ops lead handles up to 150 creator conversations with Fyxer and, at peak periods, "gets a full day back every week" (Fyxer case study).
| Workflow / use case | Primary AI role / tool slot | Input data | Expected business output / time saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inbox triage and reply drafts | Fyxer (connects to Gmail or Outlook) | Your inbox and past sent emails | "a full day back every week" at peak; 150+ creator relationships run by one person (vendor case) |
How does this differ from other ways to do this job?
Fyxer works inside the inbox you already use, with little setup. Gemini in Gmail and Microsoft 365 Copilot draft one email at a time when you ask. The inbox-agent and chief-of-staff pages on this site sweep several accounts and can act across tools, and they take more setup.
What was done
Fyxer's case study on Ballpoint features Fiona Khan, creative operations lead. She runs creator relationships from one inbox.
Fyxer connects to Gmail or Outlook, labels incoming mail, and drafts replies from her past sent mail. She still sends each reply.
The case study says that at peak periods she gets a full day back every week, and that one person can run up to 150 creator conversations. Do not drop the words "at peak."
The story page has no published date. Fyxer's sitemap listed lastmod Jun 12, 2026. That is a page-updated date, not the day the work happened.
How it went
The time claim is Fyxer's, about one employee at an agency, and it is limited to peak periods. There is no independent timesheet.
- Fyxer writes: "At peak periods, Fiona gets a full day back every week."
- Drafts stay drafts until a person sends them. Do not turn on auto-send for client mail.
Prompt
- Context / Role
You run a busy inbox for a small business or agency and want to spend less time sorting and answering email.
- The copy-paste prompt
PromptWritten by our editors from the source You are my inbox triage assistant for [BUSINESS_NAME]. My role: [MY_ROLE]. Sort each email below into one label: - Reply today (a client, customer or partner waiting on me) - Reply this week - FYI (read, no reply) - Money (invoices, payments, quotes) - Ignore (newsletters, cold pitches) Always "Reply today": anything from [VIP_SENDERS] or mentioning [URGENT_WORDS]. For every "Reply today" email, draft a reply under 100 words in my tone. My tone: [MY_TONE]. Example of an email I wrote: [SAMPLE_EMAIL] Never promise dates, prices or refunds; write [CHECK] where I must decide. Return: a table (From | Subject | Label | Why), then the drafts.

Written by our editors for any AI chat. It is not Fyxer's product. Fyxer sorts and drafts inside Gmail or Outlook on its own.
Setup notes
- Connect Fyxer to Gmail or Outlook. The free plan, as shown Oct 24, 2026, does not include sorting or drafts.
- Let it learn from mail you have already sent, then check that drafts sound like you.
- Send the drafts yourself. Do not auto-send client or money mail.
- The pricing page showed two figures for Pro and for Team, and the trial offer did not match an earlier FAQ.
Business fit
Who this helps, and how:

Local & serviceWedding planner with vendor email: pull the messages that need a reply today out of the newsletters.
Solo foundersAgency owner on a shared client inbox: label what needs a reply and draft it in the account lead's tone.
