The problem it solves

You know the answer to a customer or project question is buried somewhere in your inbox, but searching by keyword rarely finds it and scrolling through months of email wastes your time. By the time you find it, the moment has passed.

Who it fits

Sales, support, and project teams juggling a high volume of email who need to find information fast.

How it works

  1. Your Gmail inbox is monitored continuously for new emails
  2. Each email's content and details, like sender, subject, and date, are pulled out
  3. The content is converted into searchable data and stored in a database
  4. You ask a question in plain language and an AI agent searches your email history for the answer
  5. You receive a direct, context-aware answer pulled from the relevant emails
What you get

Answers pulled straight from past emails

You can ask a plain question about anything in your inbox and get an instant, accurate answer pulled directly from your email history.

What you get

A searchable, chat-based assistant that answers questions using the content of your own inbox.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, an OpenAI API key, and a PostgreSQL database with vector search enabled.

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.
