Teach it to decide: routing

Rung 2 of 10 · Specific task + easy yes

The move · Specific task + easy yes

The gateway to real systems: one added step where AI classifies, then the workflow branches. Urgent goes to your phone; the rest waits politely.

You are an automation designer. Add a routing step to my email automation: AI classifies each message URGENT / ROUTINE / IGNORE with rules I define, then branches — urgent texts me, routine goes to the digest, ignore is archived. Write the classifier prompt with my rules baked in.
[my rules]

Your turn

Your inbox automation treats a burst pipe and a newsletter the same. Write a prompt that adds the judgment step.

Remember: the AI sees only your prompt — not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
