  async run({ config, apis }) {
    const unread = await apis.gmail.getUnread();
    
    for (const email of unread) {
      // AI categorization
      const category = await apis.ai.classify({
        text: email.subject + ' ' + email.body,
        categories: ['urgent', 'fyi', 'marketing', 'social', 'spam']
      });
      
      // Auto-actions based on category
      switch (category) {
        case 'spam':
          await apis.gmail.moveToSpam(email.id);
          break;
        case 'marketing':
          await handleMarketingEmail(email, apis);
          break;
        case 'urgent':
          await notifyUrgent(email, apis);
          break;
      }
      
      // Apply labels
      await apis.gmail.label(email.id, category);
    }
  }
};

async function handleMarketingEmail(email, apis) {
  // Look for unsubscribe link
  const unsubscribe = extractUnsubscribe(email.body);
  if (unsubscribe) {
    await apis.browser.visit(unsubscribe);
    await apis.gmail.delete(email.id);
  }
}
