Steps
Sign in to Muse and choose the option to connect your email. Pick Gmail and approve the Google permission screen so Muse can read and draft messages in your inbox.
Open the inbox summary view. Muse groups and prioritizes your messages, so skim the list and check that the important senders sit at the top.
Turn on drafted replies. Muse writes suggested responses for emails it can answer, and you review each draft and approve or edit it before anything is sent.
Add your own rules in the settings, such as which senders get priority, which messages can be auto-drafted and which should always wait for you.
Set the automation to run on a daily schedule, for example each morning before you start work, so summaries and drafts are ready when you open your inbox.
Check the first few days of output. Read the summaries, correct any wrong drafts and adjust your rules until the results match how you actually work.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep approval on for every draft at first so nothing goes out without you reading it.
Start with a narrow set of rules and add more once you trust the summaries.
Check your spam and promotions folders too, since automated sorting can bury real mail.
Review connected app permissions in your Google account if you later stop using Muse.
Questions
Does Muse send replies without asking me?
In the demo, replies are drafted for your approval, so you review and approve each one before it goes out. Keep approval on unless you fully trust a rule.
Will this work with email other than Gmail?
The tutorial connects a Gmail account. Check Muse's own documentation for other providers before you rely on it.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The whole setup is done through menus and settings inside Muse, with no coding required.
