Catch the tense thread before it becomes the incident

Every manager has found a blow-up thread two days too late. What started as a scheduling question is now six replies of frost, two people are upset, and HR is about to be cc'd.

The signals were there at message three. You just weren't reading that thread -- because nobody can read every thread.

This routine runs every evening. It scans the day's email threads for signs of tension: sharp language, urgency markers, escalation patterns.

You get a short list of conversations worth a look, with why each was flagged. A five-minute intervention tonight beats a two-hour mediation next week.

1. Open Littlebird and go to Routines, then create a new routine.
2. Paste the prompt above. Adjust the days and times to fit your schedule.
3. Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. Pause or edit it anytime with auto-pause.

You can fake this with a chat skill and enough copy-paste. Most people keep it up for a week, then stop -- because the copy-paste is the actual job.

A routine removes the choreography: the context is already there, the schedule is already set, and the output shows up where you need it.

And it is private by design: SOC 2, GDPR and CCPA aligned, running on your Mac.
