Does it move or delete my email?

No. Airbox reads what you forward and emails back its triage. Sorting into folders stays in your own email client's rules — Airbox provides the judgment, not destructive changes to your mailbox.

Do I have to forward each email by hand?

No. Forward or BCC manually when you want, or set an auto-forwarding rule in Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail so matching mail reaches your Airbox address automatically and runs through your AI with no extra steps.

How much does it cost?

Airbox has a free plan to get started. You bring your own AI provider API key, so you pay the provider directly for the tokens you use — there is no AI markup from Airbox.

Is it safe to point Airbox at my real email?

Yes — that's exactly what Airbox is designed for. Airbox only acts on mail from senders you allow, and it only treats the subject and first body line (or a (* … *) block) as instructions. Everything else in a forwarded email is quarantined as untrusted content and never obeyed for your own security and privacy. Your API keys stay fully encrypted.

Triage & prioritize your inbox with AI

The short answer

To triage your inbox with AI, point an Airbox inbox at the triage workflow and auto-forward your mail to it. Your own AI reads each message, labels and prioritizes it, and emails back a short summary with what needs you — so you open your inbox to a clear picture instead of a wall of unread mail. Apply the Inbox triage & summaries recipe to set it up in one click.

How to set it up

Create a free Airbox address and connect your AI provider key.
Apply the Inbox triage & summaries recipe to that inbox to set the triage style.
Add an auto-forward rule in Gmail or Outlook so incoming mail flows through it.

Example

Subject: Fwd: (incoming mail)

(* @claude triage: priority, one-line summary, and whether it needs a reply *)

---------- Forwarded message ----------
...the email you forwarded...

What triage gives you

Your own model deciding what matters — tune it with a Context doc
