Recipe No. 13

Fold the Newsletter Pile into a Few Themed Digests

Serves Anyone whose inbox is mostly subscriptions they mean to read

Cluster the newsletters in the inbox by theme, merge each cluster into a named digest with its own visual style, send each twice a week, and archive the originals.

You will need

Method

  1. Ask the agent to list every newsletter you get and propose three to five themes (for example tech, health, family, kids).

  2. For each theme, have it build a digest with a real name, its own look, and images pulled from the source emails.

  3. Schedule each digest twice a week and archive the originals once they are folded in.

  4. Keep irreversible moves, like unsubscribing or deleting, as ask-first; it can suggest which ones look dead.
