Where each approach fits

Use ordinary mailbox rules for simple repeatable sorting. Use an assistant for a bounded question that depends on meaning, source context or your current decision.

A useful way to compare

  • Write the expected trigger
  • Check whether a deterministic rule is enough
  • Review contextual work against the original message

What this comparison does not establish

An assistant's flexibility can also introduce uncertainty. Keep important sends tied to a precise instruction.
