Draft customer email replies from your FAQ automatically

It matches incoming customer emails to your FAQ and drafts a reply for you to approve before sending.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. A person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

The same customer questions land in your inbox again and again, and typing out the same answer each time wastes your day. You want replies ready to go without giving up control over what actually gets sent.

Who it fits

Small businesses handling customer emails without a dedicated support team.

How it works

  1. A new customer email arrives in your inbox
  2. The system matches the question to your FAQ
  3. A draft reply is written based on the matching answer
  4. The draft is sent to you for review and approval before it goes out
What you get

Ready-to-send replies matched to your FAQ

You get a written reply for every customer question, matched against your FAQ and delivered straight to your inbox.

What you get

A ready-to-approve draft reply to each customer email.

What you need

A Gmail account and your FAQ document.

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.
