The problem it solves

When consultation requests come in by email, reading through every message just to catch the key details slows your team down. HR and admin staff end up spending time on repetitive reading instead of responding to what actually matters.

Who it fits

HR or administrative teams handling recurring labor consultation requests by email.

How it works

  1. A schedule checks Gmail for labor consultation emails
  2. AI reads each email and writes a short summary
  3. The summary is logged as a new row in Google Sheets
What you get

Labor consultation emails summarized in one shared sheet

You get every incoming labor consultation email summarized and logged into a shared sheet your team can scan in seconds.

What you get

A running Google Sheet of summarized consultation requests, ready to scan at a glance.

What you need

A Gmail account, an OpenAI account, and a Google Workspace 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.
