The problem it solves

Writing thoughtful replies to every support or sales email takes time you don't always have, especially when the same kinds of questions keep coming up. Falling behind on replies means slower response times and frustrated customers.

Who it fits

Support or sales teams who want a head start on email replies without losing the personal touch.

How it works

  1. You label an email in Gmail to flag it for a reply
  2. The system checks for newly labeled emails on a schedule
  3. The email content is sent to an AI assistant trained on your context
  4. A draft reply is written and saved directly in the email thread
  5. The label is removed so the email isn't processed again
What you get

Replies half-written before you sit down

Labeled emails get a context-aware draft reply waiting in the thread, ready for your team to review and send.

What you get

A ready-to-review draft reply waiting in your Gmail thread.

What you need

A Gmail account and an OpenAI account with an Assistant configured.

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.
