The problem it solves

You get emails with important details and no easy way to keep a running record of them. Copying sender names, subjects, and messages into a spreadsheet by hand eats up time you do not have.

Who it fits

Small business owners or admins who need a searchable log of incoming emails.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in your inbox
  2. The system pulls out the sender, subject, and message body
  3. It adds this information as a new row in your spreadsheet
  4. You end up with an always-updated log you can search or filter
What you get

An email log that fills itself in

You get a running record of every email that lands in your inbox, ready to search anytime.

What you get

A running spreadsheet log of every incoming email.

What you need

A Google Workspace account with Gmail and Google Sheets.

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.
