The problem it solves

Your inbox fills up with promo emails, and most of the codes inside are already expired or impossible to find again once you need them. You end up either missing good discounts entirely or digging back through old emails to track one down.

Who it fits

A shopper, small business owner, or ecommerce buyer who wants to actually use the discount codes sitting unused in their inbox.

How it works

  1. You run the process whenever you want a fresh scan
  2. The system pulls your recent promotional emails from Gmail
  3. AI reads each one and identifies usable codes, checking whether they're likely still valid
  4. The results are compiled into a spreadsheet file
  5. The file is emailed to you with a short summary
What you get

Unused discounts you actually get to use

You get a tidy list of every still-valid discount code buried in your inbox, emailed to you as a ready-to-use spreadsheet.

What you get

A spreadsheet of likely-valid promo codes, delivered to your inbox with the website and product each one applies to.

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.
