The problem it solves

Support emails pile up fast, and reading every long thread just to catch the important details eats into your team's day. Important issues can sit unnoticed until a customer follows up angry.

Who it fits

Customer support teams, operations managers, or founders who want visibility into support issues without reading every email.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in your support inbox and triggers the system
  2. The email body is sent to Google Gemini for summarization
  3. Gemini condenses it into a short, clear summary
  4. The summary is posted to your chosen Slack channel
What you get

Support issues your team spots right away

Your team gets a short AI summary of every new support email posted straight to Slack as it comes in.

What you get

A concise Slack summary of each incoming support email.

What you need

A Google Workspace account with Gmail, a Google Gemini API key, and a Slack workspace.

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.
