The problem it solves

Your inbox fills up faster than you can sort through it, and important messages from key contacts get buried under routine noise. Deciding what's urgent and what can wait takes time you don't have every morning.

Who it fits

A busy professional or executive managing a high volume of Outlook email.

How it works

  1. Once a day, your contact list is synced in from Monday.com to Airtable
  2. Incoming Outlook emails are cleaned up and matched against your known contacts
  3. AI classifies, categorizes, and prioritizes each email based on your rules stored in Airtable
  4. Outlook categories and importance flags are updated automatically to match
What you get

An inbox already sorted by what matters most

Your Outlook inbox arrives already categorized and flagged by priority based on your own rules.

What you get

An Outlook inbox that is automatically sorted, categorized, and flagged by priority, with no manual triage needed.

What you need

A Microsoft 365 account, a Monday.com account, an Airtable 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.
