The problem it solves

You manage several email inboxes, maybe your own plus a few client accounts, and checking each one separately means things get missed. There's no single place to see everything that's come in.

Who it fits

Agencies, consultants, or anyone managing multiple Gmail inboxes who wants centralized monitoring.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system checks every connected Gmail account for new messages
  2. Each new message is reformatted into a clean record with sender, subject, and preview
  3. New emails are saved into a single shared log, skipping duplicates
  4. A notification is sent summarizing how many new emails arrived
What you get

Inboxes you can see from one place

You get one unified view of every Gmail inbox your team manages, with new messages logged centrally and a heads-up when mail arrives.

What you get

A single, centralized log of every new email across all your Gmail accounts, plus a notification.

What you need

Multiple Gmail accounts connected through OAuth2.

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.
