KI-Reife (“AI maturity”) is the second tab of the Entscheidungen page — next to Warteschlange (the live queue). Where the queue is about deciding on today’s suggestions, KI-Reife is the overview: for every rule the AI runs, it shows how far that rule has progressed from “still learning” to “ready to run on its own”, and gives you a one-click Jetzt automatisieren to promote it. Nothing here fires anything. It’s a read-only picture of earned trust plus a deliberate promote button — the opposite of a black box.

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).
When a rule is Bereit für Autopilot, the card shows Jetzt automatisieren. Clicking it opens a confirmation — “Aktion automatisieren? Ab sofort führt die KI die Aktion „…” für die Kategorie „…” automatisch aus – ohne weitere Nachfrage.” — with a reminder that it’s reversible: “Du kannst das jederzeit im Kategorisierer wieder auf „Vorschlagen” zurückstellen.” Confirm with Ja, automatisieren.

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.
Promoting a Weiterleiten or E-Mail senden rule also confirms it may send without further review. That confirmation is stamped the moment you click Ja, automatisieren, because those actions can’t be recalled once automatic. Customer-facing replies therefore never reach autopilot by accident — only after you’ve approved that specific rule to the threshold and explicitly promoted it.

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.
