Tend: Reshaping Email Workflow with AI Loops
every · x · 2026-07-11
This post introduces a new workflow experiment Tend: transforming knowledge work from "processing individual tasks" to "maintaining AI loops."
The author gives an inbox scenario:
- GPT-5.6 automatically scans emails and decides which ones deserve attention
- It researches context, generates a brief summary, and suggests replies
- You approve, edit, or dictate changes via @usemonologue
- The system learns from your edits and decisions, improving next time
Tend is an open-source prompt and repo aiming to turn inboxes, hiring processes, or support queues into a "tendable" system.
