AI Suggestions
You don't have to think up every rule yourself. AI Suggestions scans your recent inbox, finds patterns in how you handle mail, and proposes ready-to-use rules. You stay in control — each suggestion is yours to accept, dismiss, or mute.
Open it from Suggestions in the sidebar.
How it works
- Click Generate Suggestions. MailPrism scans your recent inbox to look for patterns.
- Suggestions appear as cards — usually within seconds.
- For each one, choose Accept, Dismiss, or Mute.
Accepting a suggestion turns it into a real rule that runs on future email.
Suggestions don't appear on their own — you trigger a scan with Generate Suggestions whenever you want a fresh look at your inbox.
What MailPrism looks for
Suggestions are grouped into types you can filter with the tabs at the top.
| Tab | What it finds |
|---|---|
| Noise | Newsletters and automated email you rarely open or engage with |
| Patterns | Senders where you consistently do the same thing (always archive, always star, and so on) |
| Priority | People you reply to or star often — candidates to mark important |
| AI | Subtler patterns the AI spots, like auto-labeling, forwarding, or cleanup opportunities |
| All | Every pending suggestion, across types |
Reading a suggestion card
Each card gives you enough to decide at a glance:
- A type badge (Noise, Patterns, Priority, AI) so you know what kind it is.
- A confidence level — high medium low — for how sure MailPrism is.
- A score that ranks how strong the suggestion is.
- A short title and description of what the rule would do.
- Evidence chips — the stats behind it (for example, how many emails from a sender).
- A Details toggle that explains the AI's reasoning.
Accept, dismiss, or mute
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| Accept | Creates a rule from the suggestion's conditions and actions, and starts running it on future email |
| Dismiss | Removes this one suggestion — similar ones can still appear later |
| Mute | Stops this kind of suggestion from coming back |
Unlike a template from the Rule Library (which is created disabled so you can review it first), an accepted suggestion's rule is enabled immediately. If you'd rather check it before it acts, open it in Rules and turn it off until you've reviewed — or run a quick test first.
Accept several at once
When a tab has more than one pending suggestion, an Accept All button appears so you can turn the whole batch into rules in one click. Use it only when you're confident in the group — every accepted rule goes live right away.
Choosing an account
If you've connected more than one Gmail account, a selector lets you scan all connected accounts or just one. A suggestion you accept becomes a rule scoped to the account it came from. See Connecting Gmail.
Tips
- Start with high-confidence Noise and Patterns — these are the safest wins (auto-archiving newsletters, labeling routine senders).
- Mute aggressively. If a suggestion type isn't useful to you, mute it so the list stays focused on things you'll actually use.
- Re-generate after a busy week. New habits in your inbox produce new, more relevant suggestions.
- Review before trusting send actions. If an accepted rule sends or forwards mail, open it in Rules and confirm it does exactly what you expect.
