Draft AI email replies for the messages that matter

Reads your inbox, skips newsletters and receipts, and writes draft replies only for emails that need your attention.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; a person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Your inbox fills up with a mix of real questions and automatic noise like newsletters and receipts, and sorting through it eats up time every day. Writing thoughtful replies to the emails that actually matter gets pushed to the bottom of the list.

Who it fits

A freelancer, consultant, or business owner who wants to cut down email response time without sounding robotic.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in your Gmail inbox
  2. The system checks whether it's an automated message or a real one
  3. Genuine emails are matched against your knowledge base for context
  4. AI writes a draft reply in your Gmail account
  5. You review and send the draft whenever you're ready
What you get

Draft replies waiting in your inbox for your approval

You get a thoughtful draft reply waiting in Gmail for every important email, so you can respond without starting from a blank page.

What you get

A ready-to-send draft reply waiting in your Gmail drafts folder.

What you need

A Gmail account, an OpenAI or OpenRouter API key, and a Supabase database.

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.
