The problem it solves

Your inbox fills up with newsletters, invoices, inquiries, and urgent requests all mixed together, and manually sorting or labeling each one takes time away from actually responding. Important emails get buried under routine ones.

Who it fits

Busy professionals or small teams who get a high volume of varied email and want it automatically organized.

How it works

  1. Checks Gmail on a schedule for new, unlabeled messages
  2. AI reads the subject and body to figure out the category
  3. Applies the matching label, like Invoice, Urgent, or Inquiry
  4. Leaves your inbox sorted and ready to scan
What you get

Inbox labels applied without a click

Your Gmail inbox gets automatically sorted with the right label on every incoming message.

What you get

A Gmail inbox where every new email is automatically labeled by category.

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.
