Built an AI Agent Handles My Most Hated Task | Inbox Experiments #3

Hey, welcome to another solid issue of Inbox Experiments. This week we are diving into a hot trend: AI agents and the micro-automations they unlock. 👋

I run a free directory of landing‑page tools: https://tools.landin.page People submit new websites every day, but manually deciding which ones fit our niche was stealing my focus, and its hard for me.

So I built an AI agent to handle approvals - and the results were great.

Let’s break it down 👇

🧪 This Week’s Experiment: AI‑Powered Content Moderator

Goal - Automate manual approval of user‑submitted tools
Tool - Relevance AI
Stack - Relevance + Airtable API

The Problem

Daily submissions, endless rows on table, zero deep work.

The Solution

Meet Cura, a tiny agent that reviews every new record and makes the call.

It checks:

• Name, url, category, description

• Usefulness to founders/startups

• Match with our niche

If it approves, Cura writes a one‑line summary and flips the Approved switch in Airtable. If not, it leaves a short rejection note.

The Prompt

How I Built It

1. Describe the job to the Relevance chatbot. I opened Relevance AI’s Agent Builder and typed a single sentence what I need, that triggered the prompt and gave the wizard enough context to start.
   

   

2. Fine-tune with follow-up questions. The wizard asked for details of your task (In my case airtable details and what agent should do with results etc.).

3. Connect it to Airtable. And the agent created me an agent that needs to set up some connections. I made them connected with my API information on airtable.

4. Test and deploy. I ran some tests, at first used some credits and voila it works somooth! And publish it.

Total setup time: ≈27 minutes (coffee refill included).

And this is my case, of course all products needs different scenarios. And I wrote 5 examples to inspire you!

⚙️ 5 Micro‑Automation Ideas You Can Steal

Micro-automations work best when you:

• Identify repetitive tasks

• Map out clear decision points

• Start with low-risk processes

1. Auto-categorise customer feedback - Instantly buckets every message as a bug, feature request or praise so the right teammate sees it first. (Relevance + Airtable)

2. Instant FAQ replies - Answers "Where's my order?" and other repeat questions in seconds, slashing support volume. (Gmail API + Relevance)

3. Review sentiment scan - Flags negative app-store or Product Hunt reviews early so you can rescue churn before it happens. (Relevance + Google Sheets)

4. First‑pass job screening - Scores applicants on must‑have skills and location, keeping your inbox free of obvious mismatches. (Airtable + Relevance)

5. Spam filter for user content - Blocks low‑effort or sketchy submissions and keeps your community pristine while you sleep. (Relevance + your CMS)

And Relevance have a great templates directory!

Copy, tweak, ship.

🧠 Personal Insight

Small, focused automations beat big, messy systems. Start with the one task you dread most, give it to an agent, then move on. Automation isn't about replacing human judgment but it's about freeing your brain for creative work.
