Sort incoming Gmail messages into labels automatically with AI

AI reads every new email and automatically labels it as high priority, promotion, billing, or support.

How the work actually flows

From the manual situation today to what runs on its own.

The problem it solves

Your inbox is a mix of urgent client emails, invoices, marketing spam, and support requests, all jumbled together. Sorting through everything manually to find what actually needs your attention wastes time you don't have.

Who it fits

Busy professionals and small teams who get a high volume of mixed email and need it pre-sorted.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in your Gmail inbox
  2. AI reads the content and decides which category it belongs to
  3. The email is automatically labeled as high priority, promotion, finance and billing, or customer support
  4. You open your inbox to emails already sorted and ready to filter
What you get

An inbox already sorted before you open it

Every email lands pre-labeled as urgent, billing, support, or promotion, so you open your inbox already knowing what matters first.

What you get

Every incoming email automatically tagged with the right Gmail label.

What you need

A Gmail account with API access and an OpenAI 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.
