Re:Show HN: Non-intrusive AI agent to automate email driven workflows on Tuesday May 27, 2025 @11:45AM (#44108063)
Love the concept but worried about the user adoption curve. Email forwarding is still a manual step.

Suggestions:

- Gmail/Outlook extensions that add 'Process with MX' buttons directly in the interface

- Sample forwarding rules for common email clients so people can set up automation

- Maybe a 'trial mode' where people can paste email content on your site without forwarding?

The aliasing system is clever - reminds me of old-school email filters but AI-powered.
