The problem it solves

You're manually copying names, phone numbers, and qualifications out of application emails into a spreadsheet, one at a time. It's slow, and it's easy to mistype a detail or skip an email by accident.

Who it fits

Administrative staff or office managers who process a steady stream of applications, registrations, or inquiries by email.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in Gmail with the label you choose, like New Application
  2. The automation reads the email body
  3. Gemini extracts the applicant's name, phone number, and qualifications
  4. That information is added as a new row in your Google Sheet

What you need

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.
