Rules and AI checks

Send every request to the right client.

Rules match a sender, a domain, a channel, or a meeting title and set the client, project, or calendar. Exclusions skip what you never need, and checks keep out duplicates, other people's work, and work already done.

Highlights

  • Rules you can read

    Each rule names its match and its destination, with optional instructions in plain words, like “Include all messages about the web app.”

  • Checks before suggesting

    Kernel checks that a request is yours, still outstanding, and new. Its confidence reflects the weakest of those checks.

  • Nothing vanishes

    Excluded and skipped messages are listed in Inbox activity with the reason, and Suggest anyway brings one back for review.

Exclusions

Skip the noise without losing track of it.

Exclusions run before any destination rule. A blank prompt excludes every match; a prompt lets AI decide message by message. Excluded messages are logged, never dropped silently.

  • Workspace exclusions cover every Gmail and Slack account
  • Filters for automated senders and bulk mail are built in
  • Suggest anyway brings in a message that was left alone

Duplicates

The same request in two places becomes one card.

When an email and a Slack message ask for the same thing, Kernel merges the cards when it is sure, keeps your edits, and links both conversations. Undo restores both cards exactly.

  • At 95% confidence or more, duplicates merge with an Undo
  • Below that, select the cards and merge them yourself
  • Accepting a merged card links every conversation to the task

Good to know

  • Rules match an exact sender, a domain, a Slack author or channel, or a meeting title or participant.
  • Parser instructions reach the AI only after a rule matches, and can't create or accept anything.
  • Routes never overwrite a field you already edited on a pending suggestion.
  • Saving a rule affects new analysis; accepted work is never rewritten.
  • Being copied, mentioned, or in the channel doesn't make a request yours; a direct ask does.
  • A close match to an existing task offers Add to that task instead of a new one.
