The problem it solves

Opening your inbox first thing in the morning and scrolling through dozens of emails just to find out what actually matters is a rough way to start the day. Important tasks and deadlines get buried under routine messages, and you don't always catch them in time.

Who it fits

Busy founders, managers, or anyone who wants a quick overview of their inbox instead of scrolling through it every morning.

How it works

  1. Every morning at 7 AM, the workflow checks your Gmail inbox
  2. It pulls the sender, subject, and preview of each email from the last day
  3. AI reads through them and pulls out key topics, tasks, and deadlines
  4. AI writes a short bullet-point summary
  5. The summary lands in your inbox as a single digest email
What you get

Inbox highlights waiting when you wake up

Every morning you get a short list of what actually needs your attention in your inbox.

What you get

A short daily email summarizing your inbox, with key tasks and deadlines called out.

What you need

A Gmail account and an OpenRouter 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.
