The problem it solves

Your inbox fills up with mixed messages, and sorting them into partnership requests, inquiries, and notifications takes time you'd rather spend responding. Important emails get buried under the noise.

Who it fits

Anyone managing a busy inbox that needs consistent labeling.

How it works

  1. Checks your Gmail inbox for new messages every minute
  2. Reads the content of each new email
  3. AI decides which category the email belongs in
  4. Matches that category to your existing Gmail labels
  5. Applies the correct label to the email automatically
What you get

Labels applied the moment mail arrives

Every new email in your inbox gets sorted into the right label the moment it arrives, keeping your inbox tidy automatically.

What you get

A Gmail inbox where every new email already has the right label applied.

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.
