The problem it solves

Newsletters, industry updates, and subscription emails pile up in your inbox faster than you can read them, and important insights get buried. You end up either skimming everything quickly or ignoring the label entirely.

Who it fits

Busy professionals who subscribe to newsletters or industry updates and want the highlights, not the clutter.

How it works

  1. Each morning at a set time, the system checks a specific Gmail label
  2. Emails from the last 24 hours under that label are pulled in
  3. Each email is summarized with OpenAI while keeping key links intact
  4. All the summaries are combined into one digest
  5. The digest is emailed to your inbox
What you get

One morning digest instead of dozens of emails

Every morning you get a single digest summarizing all the newsletters and updates under one Gmail label, with links intact, so you can skim it fast.

What you get

One daily digest email that summarizes everything under your chosen Gmail label.

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.
