Tend: Turning Your Inbox Into an AI Workflow
danshipper · x · 2026-07-11
The post highlights a "system rather than a single task" approach to knowledge work: letting GPT-5.6 batch-process emails, retrieve context, and provide summaries and suggested replies. The user then reviews, edits, or dictates additions, feeding the revisions back into the agent's memory for continuous improvement.
They also announced the release of Tend, an experimental tool that lets users build this loop themselves, complete with open-source prompts and a repository. The core thesis is that knowledge work is shifting from processing tasks one by one to maintaining workflows powered by AI.
