Listen to the story

A new tool can help people clean up their email. It is called an Inbox Zero starter kit. Inbox Zero means having an empty or clean inbox.

The kit uses AI to sort emails. AI means a computer program that can think like a human in some ways.

The kit has 10 rules. These rules work for both Gmail and Outlook. Gmail and Outlook are two popular email apps.

The rules help people organize their email faster. They can help with sorting, deleting, and answering messages.

Many people get too many emails every day. This makes it hard to find important messages.

This new kit tries to fix that problem. It gives simple steps anyone can follow.

People do not need to be experts to use it. The rules are made to be easy and quick.

This tool could help workers save time. It could also lower stress about email.
