I’m curious why you don’t just use them like a Meeseeks box, rather than compressing and context stuffing into one. One only checks and categorizes your emails, another one for each category of email or even subcategory, one that only handles calendar additions, a different one to check it and notify you; you can go infinite with it. Hell, I’ll have one instance find a file and read it into the context of a different one because I don’t want a bunch of grep commands mucking up the context of the analysis. The find/read one exists for a few moments, as does the analysis one, and the ‘perform’ one is entirely different. I can run them all in parallel and use a queue if needed.

I’m sure you have reasons for your setup though, so I’m curious how you landed on it.
