The problem it solves

Your inbox fills up with emails carrying PDFs and images you don't have time to open and read closely. Important details buried in attachments get missed, and by the time you circle back the moment to act on them has passed.

Who it fits

A busy professional or small business owner who gets a high volume of emails with document or image attachments.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in your inbox
  2. The system checks for PDF or image attachments
  3. AI reads the attachments and the email text and summarizes each one
  4. Every summary is logged to a spreadsheet
  5. You receive one consolidated summary as a message
What you get

Attachments summarized in one glance

Every email and its attachments get summarized for you and logged neatly, so you can see what matters in one glance.

What you get

A running spreadsheet of email summaries plus one consolidated summary message for each email.

What you need

An email account, a Google Sheets account, a Telegram account, and an API key for an AI model.

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.
