The problem it solves

You can't check your inbox every few minutes, but important emails about payments, deliveries, or security still need quick attention. Sifting through a full inbox just to catch the handful of messages that actually matter wastes your focus.

Who it fits

Busy professionals who want to stay on top of critical emails without living in their inbox.

How it works

  1. Gmail is checked for new messages every minute
  2. Each email is scanned for important keywords like invoice, payment, or security
  3. Matching emails are sent to AI to be summarized in plain language
  4. The summary is delivered to a Telegram chat instantly
What you get

Important emails flagged before you open your inbox

You get a short summary sent to Telegram whenever an important email about invoices, payments, or security arrives.

What you get

A short, plain-language summary of each important email, delivered to Telegram as it arrives.

What you need

A Gmail account, an OpenAI API key, and a Telegram bot.

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.
