The problem it solves

You need to archive emails from a specific client, vendor, or partner for records or compliance, but manually forwarding or copying each message is slow and easy to fall behind on. When someone asks for the history later, digging through your inbox takes forever.

Who it fits

Anyone who needs a running archive of correspondence with a specific sender, like a vendor, client, or compliance contact.

How it works

  1. The system pulls every email from a chosen sender's address
  2. Key details like subject, message, and date are extracted from each one
  3. The dates are converted into a readable format
  4. All the emails are turned into a single CSV file
  5. The file is uploaded to a folder in Google Drive
What you get

Correspondence archived without manual searching

Every email from a chosen sender gets saved as a dated file in Google Drive automatically, building a running archive.

What you get

A timestamped CSV file in Google Drive containing every email from that sender.

What you need

A Gmail account and a Google Drive 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.
