The problem it solves

Your inbox fills up faster than you can answer it, and most days you're writing similar replies over and over. You want a head start on responses without losing your voice or letting something important slip through unanswered.

Who it fits

A busy owner or professional who wants help keeping up with email without giving up control of it.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in your Gmail inbox
  2. AI checks whether the message actually needs a response, skipping newsletters and promotions
  3. For emails that need a reply, AI writes a clear, professional draft
  4. For yes/no questions, both an approving and a declining version are drafted
  5. The draft is saved in the same email thread, ready for you to review and send
What you get

Reply drafts waiting in your inbox

You open your inbox to polished draft replies already written for the emails that need a response, ready for you to send.

What you get

A ready-to-send draft reply waiting in your Gmail inbox.

What you need

A Gmail 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.
