Every long email chain boiled down to the bullets that matter -- decisions, open questions, and what they need from you.
You've been cc'd on a thread since Tuesday. It's now 43 messages deep, the subject line stopped making sense three replies ago, and someone just asked you directly: 'thoughts?'
The answer is in there somewhere. Finding it means reading the whole archaeological layer cake -- or admitting you didn't.
This routine runs every morning. It finds email threads longer than five messages that need your attention and summarizes each into the essentials: what's being decided, what's open, and what's being asked of you.
You reply with context in minutes, and nobody knows you skipped the dig.
Copy this prompt into a new Littlebird routine. Edit the days and times to fit your schedule.
Every morning summarize any email threads longer than 5 messages that need my attention


Chat skills wait for you. Routines do not.
With a Claude or ChatGPT skill, you are the integration: copy the email, paste the calendar, explain the background, then carry the answer back out.
Littlebird skips the middleman. It reads the sources directly, runs on your schedule, and your data is never sold or used to train a model.
Five messages by default, but it's your call -- change the number in the prompt and it follows.
It's free on Basic. Plus is $17 per month billed annually or $20 month to month, with a 14-day trial.
Completely. Littlebird is SOC 2 certified and GDPR-aligned and CCPA-aligned, and never sells your data or trains models on it.
Littlebird connects with Gmail and reads Outlook on screen. Full Outlook support is coming.
Already here -- Littlebird runs on Mac and Windows.
