The problem it solves

Your inbox fills up with a mix of spam, sales questions, and things that actually need a same-day reply, and sorting through all of it eats your morning. Important messages get buried next to promotions and notifications you don't care about.

Who it fits

Busy professionals, sales teams, or customer support staff who get high email volume.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in your inbox
  2. AI classifies it as spam, important, promotion, notification, personal, a call request, or needing a reply
  3. For messages needing a response, a draft reply is written and saved in Gmail
  4. Urgent messages trigger an instant alert
  5. Follow-ups can be scheduled directly on your calendar
What you get

Reply drafts waiting in your inbox

Your inbox gets sorted automatically and a reply is drafted and ready for you to send.

What you get

A sorted inbox, a ready-to-send draft reply, and an alert for anything urgent.

What you need

A Gmail account, an AI model account, a messaging app for alerts, and Google Calendar.

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.
