The problem it solves

Responding to routine inbound emails takes time, but generic canned replies frustrate customers. You also have no easy way to know whether your automated replies are actually landing well.

Who it fits

Support or sales teams that handle a steady stream of similar inbound emails.

How it works

  1. An email arrives from a specified sender
  2. AI reads the message and writes a reply
  3. The reply is sent back with a feedback link included
  4. The original email and AI reply are logged to a spreadsheet
  5. If the recipient clicks the feedback link, their response is recorded against that reply
What you get

Replies that go out while you're still deciding

Incoming emails get a written reply automatically, with a feedback link attached so you can see how well it landed.

What you get

A sent AI reply plus a spreadsheet log of every exchange and its feedback rating.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Google Sheets account, and an OpenAI API key.

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.
