Extracts actionable tasks from pasted or uploaded email content (headers plus bodies) and returns a polished, editable DOCX task list plus an import-ready CSV. Applies Eisenhower-style triage, infers deadlines from natural language, filters noise, collapses duplicate threads, and separates real tasks from archive candidates. Use when you have a batch of emails and need a clean, ready-to-act task list — or a CSV to bulk-import into Todoist, Asana, Notion, Trello, or Monday.

Example Output
Two files are generated: task-list.docx and task-list.csv. The DOCX contains a prioritized task list with action required and archive sections. The CSV file contains task details in a comma-separated format. A reader note provides context and flags missing information: today’s date, user name/role, and personal priority rules.
