The problem it solves

Your team answers the same questions over and over, and response times slip during busy periods or after hours. Repetitive questions eat into time better spent on complex requests.

Who it fits

A support team, admissions office, or customer service staff fielding repetitive email questions.

How it works

  1. Your approved FAQ document is turned into a searchable knowledge base
  2. A new email arrives in the inbox
  3. The system finds the closest matching answers from your FAQ library
  4. AI drafts a personalized, on-brand reply
  5. The reply is sent back in the same email thread
What you get

Emails answered automatically from your FAQs

Routine questions that match your FAQs get an accurate, on-brand reply automatically, right in the same email thread.

What you get

An accurate, threaded email reply sent automatically to the customer.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Google Drive account, and a self-hosted AI setup.

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.
