The problem it solves

Answering the same kinds of customer questions over and over eats up hours, and it's hard to keep every reply consistent with your brand voice and current information. New team members especially struggle to answer accurately without digging through old documents. This reads each email, pulls the right answer from your own knowledge base, and sends a reply in your voice.

Who it fits

Support teams, solopreneurs, and B2B service providers handling recurring email inquiries.

How it works

  1. A new customer email in Gmail triggers the process
  2. AI reads the email to understand the question being asked
  3. The system searches your indexed company documents for relevant information
  4. AI combines that information with your brand voice to write a full reply
  5. The reply is sent back on the original email thread

What you need

A Gmail account, an OpenAI account, a Pinecone account, and a Google Drive account for your source documents.

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.
