I wanted to share a quick automation I built today.
I created a Gmail AI email triage system in about 15 minutes using Make, Gemini, and Claude.
Here’s what the workflow does:
• Watches the Gmail inbox automatically
• Gemini reads every incoming email and classifies it as Spam / Critical / Moderate
Then it takes action based on the category:
🚫 Spam → Ignored (no action)🔴 Critical → AI drafts a professional reply and logs the email to Google Sheets🟡 Moderate → AI drafts a reply and saves it as a Gmail draft
The scenario includes multiple modules, routing, and AI decision paths.
The interesting part:
I didn’t manually drag modules or build the structure step by step. I described the workflow, and the system generated the full automation scenario including module setup, filters, and connections.
What still matters though is understanding how automation works. Knowing the logic behind workflows helps you review what AI generates and adjust it properly instead of just blindly running it.
Curious to hear how others here are using AI to speed up building automations.
