Two ways a rule graduates
A rule ramps up through the same trust threshold whether you promote it from the queue or from this tab — they’re two views of one mechanism:From the queue
While you’re clearing decisions, InboxMate nudges opportunistically: after enough approvals it asks Ab jetzt automatisch? right on the card. Handy in the moment.
From KI-Reife
Here you see every rule’s progress at once and promote proactively with Jetzt automatisieren — without waiting for the next matching email to trigger a nudge.
The four stages
Each rule sits at one of four maturity stages, shown as a badge under Regeln nach Reifegrad:
The thresholds are deterministic, not a vibe score. With the default trust threshold of 5 approvals, a rule reaches Zuverlässig at 3 approvals and becomes Bereit für Autopilot at 5 — provided it also clears the gates below. A Weg zum Autopilot progress bar on each card shows how close it is (approvals ÷ threshold).
Both Ja and Anders (approve, or approve with a correction) count toward a rule’s approvals. Ignorieren does not — declining an action never pushes it toward automation.
What holds a rule back
Approval count alone isn’t enough. A rule is capped below Bereit für Autopilot while any of these is true:- Drafts are still heavily rewritten. The Bearbeitungs-Trend metric tracks how much you change a rule’s drafts before sending. If your recent edits are still large, the AI hasn’t learned your voice yet and the rule stays at Lernt — no matter how many times you’ve approved it. (Actions that produce no draft, like archiving, have no edit trend and skip this gate.)
- The rule has gone quiet. A rule that earned readiness long ago but hasn’t been exercised recently is held at Zuverlässig with the note “Länger nicht bestätigt — für Autopilot erneut freigeben.” InboxMate won’t advertise autopilot for a rule it hasn’t seen work lately.
- You dismissed the nudge. Choosing Weiter fragen keeps a rule supervised until you promote it deliberately.
- The action type can’t graduate at all — see below.
Reading a rule card
Each card carries the stage badge, the Weg zum Autopilot bar, and three metrics:- Saubere Freigaben — approvals with no correction needed (the real trust signal).
- Gelernt — how many style/fact exemplars this rule has taught the draft generator. This ties into what the AI has learned from your edits.
- Bearbeitungs-Trend — whether your edits to its drafts are growing or shrinking (or keine Bearbeitungen for action types with no draft).
The headline
Above the rule list, three summary cards and a chart give the account-level picture:- Gesparte Zeit (geschätzt) — estimated hours saved, “Geschätzt aus tatsächlich ausgeführten Aktionen der letzten 8 Wochen.”
- Automatisiert — rules running fully automatically.
- Bereit für Autopilot — rules you could promote with one click right now.
- Autonomie im Zeitverlauf — a weekly sparkline splitting executed actions into Automatisch (fired on their own), Freigegeben (you approved via the queue), and Manuell übernommen (you overrode the AI).
The saved-time figure is deliberately honest and auditable — it’s a real count of executed actions multiplied by a documented per-action constant (e.g. a drafted reply saves more minutes than an archive), broken down per action type. It is never an extrapolated growth projection.
Not every action can graduate
Eligibility for auto mode is fixed per action type:
Endgültig löschen (permanent delete) always stays a suggestion, however often you approve it — it’s irreversible, so InboxMate never runs it unattended.
Where this connects
- The decisions you make in the Warteschlange are what feed every number here.
- The Gelernt metric and the shrinking Bearbeitungs-Trend come from what the AI learns from your edits.
- When a rule is empty of activity you’ll see “Noch keine Regeln zum Reifen” — approve a few suggestions in the queue and rules start appearing here as they earn autonomy.
