Automatically drafts and sends an AI reply to selected emails, then saves the conversation to Google Sheets.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Answering routine emails takes time you'd rather spend elsewhere, but you still want a thoughtful reply to go out. You also want a record of what was asked and how it was answered, without copying every email into a spreadsheet yourself.

Who it fits

A small business or support team that fields recurring questions by email and wants a searchable record of replies.

How it works

  1. An email arrives from a recognized sender
  2. AI reads the message and drafts a reply
  3. The reply is sent back to the sender automatically
  4. The original email and the AI reply are saved to a Google Sheet
  5. Any feedback on the reply is also recorded for future reference
What you get

Email replies sent without you typing them

Recognized senders get an AI-drafted reply automatically, with every exchange logged in a Google Sheet for your records.

What you get

An automatic email reply plus a running Google Sheet log of every exchange.

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.
