AI email auto-responder that learns from your corrections

Drafts email replies using your company knowledge, sends confident ones, and improves from your feedback on the rest.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; a person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Answering routine emails eats into your day, but you can't just let a bot loose without review because it might get something wrong. You want the confidence that responses are on-brand and correct without checking every single one.

Who it fits

Small teams or solo operators who handle a steady stream of similar customer or client emails.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in Gmail
  2. AI drafts a reply using your stored company knowledge
  3. High-confidence replies are sent automatically; unsure ones are saved to Google Sheets for your review
  4. Your edits and feedback are used to update the AI's knowledge for next time
What you get

Routine replies sent while tricky ones wait for you

Your straightforward customer emails get answered right away using your company knowledge, while trickier ones are set aside for you to handle.

What you get

Sent email replies for routine questions, plus a review queue in Google Sheets for anything uncertain.

What you need

A Gmail account, an OpenAI account, and a Supabase 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.
