<p><font face="Calibri">Regarding dealing with spam: Back when I
used Eudora for an email client (20 years!), I made extensive
use of their easy mail filters. Any email I ever got from anyone
I ever wanted to correspond with was given a filter that put
their emails into one of three folders: friends, family,
clients. Mailing lists also had filters to their own folders.
I'm talking hundreds of filters, which Eudora handled
beautifully. All that was typically left in my inbox was spam,
which I could select en masse and delete. Easy peasy. I use
Thunderbird now, and it's not as easy as Eudora, but I still do
it that way.</font><br>

2025 is supposed to be the year when "agentic" LLMs become

<div>Second Wind helps business victims of those shady
business loan firms. I too get tons of spam from such firms.
I've found that typical spam rules in email software demand
a lot of time to get right, and I agree that LLMs should
expedite handling such--and handling good emails too. <br>

on various AI project so hoping someone has some <br>
experience with something like this.<br>
<br>
The idea is to be able to control very standard but not
exact browser or <br>
email reader (thunderbird for me) sequences. A simple
email example <br>
would be 'delete any email offering a business loan',<br>
I get a dozen a day -- the subject line has a dozen
different phrases.<br>
So the key steps would be recognize a related phrase and
then trigger an <br>
action in the email program.<br>
Another would be to find that latest episode of a list
of tv series and <br>
record them.<br>
That would require scanning a number of web pages and
triggering each <br>
show and the recording program for that show.<br>
<br>
I was suggested Claude as a basis.<br>

It has a key feature in that it relies on tools to do
the detailed work.<br>
I haven't found tools that seem to do these steps, which
might mean I've <br>
just not looked in the right place.<br>
Any other platform suggestion is fine also.<br>
<br>
This sounds like a simple case of windows (mac or linux
is ok) macros, only<br>
the situations vary based on each case, it takes an
operator a few <br>
seconds to see<br>
the difference in the location of the screen, so a macro
is too rigid.<br>
