The decision model sorts, Claude drafts, you send

Automation Everyday Costs

An AI may sort mail and suggest replies. Sending should still be done by a person.

In depth: Pre-sorting your inbox – a model sorts, Claude drafts, you send

Creator Magic has the decision model Jev classify each email: choice, yes/no or score. Only emails labelled “relevant” go to Claude, and Claude creates drafts only. According to the video, sorting about 250 emails cost slightly over 1 cent, versus $1.39 with Opus 5. Those are the channel’s figures. Jack Roberts suggests categories: spam, urgency, buying signal, support (19 September). His cost figures are extrapolations from 20-email tests. The claim that the system “cannot be hijacked” rests on a single test.

Tool and alternative

Jev via OpenRouter (list price $0.042 per million input tokens). In the video it runs through Zapier with a webhook, which requires a paid plan. My assessment: a script using IMAP does the same. Important: emails can contain injected instructions, and a decision model can fall for them too. Seven videos about the same product in two weeks are not independent enthusiasm.
