The problem it solves

Small day-to-day admin work like checking email, updating a tracking sheet, or pinging a teammate adds up and pulls your attention away from higher-value work. None of it is hard, but all of it takes time.

Who it fits

Busy owners or operators who want routine email and admin tasks handled without hiring extra help.

How it works

  1. Checks your email inbox for new messages
  2. Reads and processes relevant messages automatically
  3. Updates a spreadsheet with the relevant information
  4. Sends a Slack message or email reply when needed
What you get

Some emails handled the rest still yours

Your inbox gets checked, relevant messages get handled, and a spreadsheet stays current with what matters most to you.

What you get

Processed emails, an updated spreadsheet, and Slack or email notifications, handled without your input.

What you need

An email account, a Slack workspace, and a spreadsheet file.

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.
