How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken.

The problem it solves

Support emails come in as a mixed pile of billing questions, technical issues, and feature requests, and sorting them by hand slows down your response time. Urgent problems can get buried under routine questions if nobody catches them fast.

Who it fits

Small support teams handling a shared inbox without dedicated ticketing software.

How it works

  1. A new support email lands in Gmail
  2. AI reads the message and classifies it as billing, technical, or a feature request
  3. The categorized ticket is logged automatically to Notion
  4. Urgent issues can also trigger a Slack notification
What you get

Support emails routed to the right queue

Every incoming support email is sorted by type and logged in Notion right away, so the right person can pick it up fast.

What you get

An organized ticket log in Notion, sorted by category, with optional urgent alerts in Slack.

What you need

A Gmail account, an OpenAI API key, and a Notion workspace.

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.
