AI Email Assistant Uses Folders as Specialized Agents

Kieran Klaassen, General Manager at Cora, shares his experience developing an AI email assistant.

This "folder-as-agent" approach, which he has implemented across 44 agents for various projects, simplifies agent management by providing the AI model with sufficient context to act as a specialist without requiring constant re-explanation.
