The problem it solves

Your inbox fills up with a mix of client emails, bills, newsletters, and social notifications, and sorting it all by hand eats into your day. Important messages get buried under things that don't matter, and you end up scanning everything just to find what needs a reply.

Who it fits

A busy owner or manager who wants a clean, organized inbox without doing the sorting themselves.

How it works

  1. Every few minutes, the automation checks your Gmail inbox for new messages
  2. AI reads the subject and body of each email
  3. It decides which category the email belongs to, like work, bills, or newsletters
  4. The matching Gmail label is applied automatically
What you get

An inbox that files itself as messages arrive

Your Gmail inbox stays organized automatically as new messages are sorted into the right labels for you.

What you get

A Gmail inbox where every new email already has the right label applied.

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.
