The problem it solves

Important emails get buried in a crowded inbox, and your team has no easy way to see what matters without you forwarding things manually. Keeping everyone in the loop means extra copy-pasting and interruptions.

Who it fits

Teams who want key email updates surfaced in chat without someone manually forwarding them.

How it works

  1. An important email arrives in Gmail
  2. The system pulls out the key details of the message
  3. A short summary is created
  4. The summary is posted to your team chat channel
What you get

Your most important emails surfaced without digging

Get the key details from your most important emails pulled out and posted as a short summary in your team chat.

What you get

A summary message posted to your team's chat channel whenever an important email comes in.

What you need

A Gmail account and a team chat workspace such as Zulip or Slack.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
