The problem it solves

Important information arrives by email but lives nowhere else, so you lose track of it or have to copy it into a spreadsheet by hand. Manually transferring email details is easy to forget and easy to get wrong. You want every message captured automatically in one organized place.

Who it fits

Small business owners and admins who need a running log of incoming emails.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in your inbox
  2. The system reads the email details
  3. The details are formatted for the spreadsheet
  4. A new row is added to your Google Sheet with the email information
What you get

Emails logged without touching a keyboard

Every new email you receive gets automatically saved into a running spreadsheet log for you to reference anytime.

What you get

An updated Google Sheet with a new row for every incoming email.

What you need

A Gmail account and a Google Sheets account.

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.
