The problem it solves

Answering routine email inquiries, especially requests for company information, takes time away from higher-value work. It's easy to fall behind on replies or send inconsistent answers when you're juggling everything else.

Who it fits

Businesses that get frequent email inquiries and want faster, more consistent replies.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in your inbox and triggers the process
  2. The system converts and summarizes the email content
  3. It classifies the email by type, such as a company information request
  4. AI drafts a reply using relevant information stored from your documents
  5. A second AI pass reviews and formats the reply before it's sent back to the sender
What you get

Inquiries answered with consistent, accurate replies

You get faster, more consistent replies to incoming emails, drafted using your own company information for accuracy.

What you get

A reviewed, formatted email reply sent automatically back to the person who wrote in.

What you need

An email inbox, an OpenAI API key, a DeepSeek API key, a Qdrant account, and a Google Drive 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.
