An agent that researches contacts and drafts emails
The question. Can an agent loop that researches contacts and drafts personal emails, with a person pressing send, produce 3 real conversations a week?
what I built
Research agents filled versioned sheets and wrote personal Gmail drafts. They never sent anything. I was the sender.

what happened
- About 420 contacts researched and 9 drafts ready to send.
- 0 sends documented and 0 replies.
- A review of 21 drafts found 3 with a redirect link in the signature and 9 with dashes that read as AI.
decision
Drafting was fast. Sending never happened, so the loop never produced a conversation.
- New rules for every draft: no links, no dashes, one question.
