 "Flooded with useless mails? Meet Clutter")
Microsoft is rolling out ‘Clutter’ for Office 365 business customers. Clutter, which relies on Office Graph, is designed to help users focus on the most important messages in their inbox.
The tool uses machine learning to de-clutter your inbox by moving lower priority messages out of your way and into a new Clutter folder. Ultimately, Clutter removes distractions so you can focus on what matters most.
“Clutter learns from your actions to determine the messages you are likely to ignore. As less important messages arrive, they are automatically moved to the Clutter folder. Clutter does this by leveraging Office Graph’s machine learning techniques to determine which messages are Clutter. It gets smarter over time, learning from your prior actions with similar messages, and assessing things like the type of content and even how you are addressed in the message,” Brian Shiers, senior product marketing manager, and Kumar Venkateswar, senior program manager on the Exchange team, said in a blogpost.
The Clutter experience is personalized to each individual and reflects an email experience that adapts to your actions and preferences without you having to do anything. The information Clutter learns from each user’s actions are only applied to that user’s experience and are not shared with anyone else.
By default, Clutter is disabled for Office 365 business customers’ inbox. Each person controls whether to turn Clutter on or off. Customers can control Clutter from the Outlook Web App (OWA) options menu. One can turn it on as soon as Clutter is available for your Office 365 tenant.
If users find items in their Clutter folder that shouldn’t be there, they can train Clutter by moving the message back to inbox.
The Clutter folder allows users to take advantage of the feature across many email clients including Outlook, OWA, OWA for devices, or EAS connected devices.
Customers who have opted into First Release will begin seeing the Clutter feature.
The company said it is first rolling out the feature to those using the English locale, other languages will follow as localization is complete.
Deployment to standard deployment tenants is targeted to begin later this month.
