SaneBox decides what you read. Fasrad handles what you’d have to answer, from its own inbox: triaging, drafting and following up.
An agent with its own inbox that triages, drafts replies and follows up, so the folder gets emptied for you.
SaneBox is good at one thing and honest about it. It learns which senders matter and moves the rest into SaneLater, SaneBlackHole and a digest, so the unimportant mail stops interrupting you. For a lot of people that single move is the whole reason they pay. It works without changing your mail client, which is part of why it sticks.
After SaneBox sorts, the work is still yours.
The important thread lands in your inbox and you still have to read it, decide, write the reply, and remember to chase the one that goes quiet. Fasrad picks up there. It has its own inbox and reads the full thread. It drafts an answer that references what was actually said, proposes times against your calendar, and logs the interaction the moment you send.
Where the line falls:
Pick Fasrad when your problem is the answering (the replies, the scheduling, the follow-ups) and you want something to do that part for you.

No. SaneBox is a filter. It decides what reaches your inbox and never writes anything. Fasrad connects to your own inbox and acts: it drafts replies, sends them as you on your approval, books meetings and follows up (and can run a dedicated inbox of its own instead). SaneBox makes the inbox quieter, and Fasrad clears the work.
SaneBox is a pure filter. It lives inside your existing Gmail or Outlook, sorts incoming mail, and never drafts or sends anything. Fasrad connects to that same inbox, read-only, and acts on it: it drafts the reply, sends it as you on your approval, books the meeting and follows up. It can also run a dedicated inbox of its own and keep an optional private copy of your mailbox you can search by meaning across years. For sorting alone, SaneBox does the job. For the answering, that's Fasrad.
No. You tell Fasrad in plain language what matters ('flag clients, draft scheduling replies, ignore newsletters') and it learns your senders over time. You won't maintain a rule builder or a folder tree.
Only if you open a lane for it. By default it drafts and shows you a triage card to approve. You can let specific lanes, say routine scheduling confirmations, send automatically once you trust them. You decide what's autonomous.
There's nothing to migrate in the rule sense, because Fasrad doesn't use folder rules. You connect the same inbox and describe how you triage. If you keep SaneBox running, the two don't conflict. Fasrad reads whatever SaneBox left in the inbox.
