Automatically label incoming emails and remember customer context

AI reads new emails, tags them by urgency in Gmail, and saves what it learns about each contact for later.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per one per incoming email.

The problem it solves

You close deals over email, but sorting urgent requests from newsletters and noise eats into your day. Once a thread is done, whatever you learned about that customer is gone unless you wrote it down somewhere.

Who it fits

Contractors, consultants, and small agency owners who close deals by email.

How it works

  1. Every five minutes, the system checks your inbox for new email
  2. Newsletters and internal notifications are filtered out automatically
  3. AI reads the remaining emails and figures out what the customer needs
  4. A label like Action Required or Urgent is applied in Gmail
  5. Key details about the customer are saved so they can be recalled later
What you get

Emails tagged the moment they land

You get incoming emails labeled by urgency and key customer details remembered automatically for your next conversation.

What you get

A labeled Gmail inbox plus a saved memory of what each customer has asked for.

What you need

A Gmail account, an OpenAI API key, and a Mem0 account.

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.
