Tips

• Start with

  spark accounts

  if you haven't yet - it reveals what accounts, calendars, and teams are available.
• Use

  category:personal

  as the primary filter for people mail - it separates real conversations from automated mail.
• When the user says "what's new" or "catch me up", run the Morning Briefing flow.
• Always read a thread before drafting a reply - context matters.
• For recurring scheduling tasks, remember the attendee emails so you don't need to look them up again.
• Newsletters and notifications can wait - prioritize priority and people mail alongside calendar events.
