Use Case
AI Email Automation — Triage, Draft, and Send Emails on Autopilot
Hours spent reading and replying to emails every day is not a strategy. Our AI agent classifies every inbound email, drafts the right response, and sends — or queues for your review — automatically.
The Problem
Before the agent exists
01
Hours lost to email triage
The average knowledge worker spends 2.5 hours daily on email. Most of it is reading, sorting, and drafting responses to predictable requests.
02
Missed follow-ups cost revenue
Threads fall through the cracks. Deals go cold. Partners get ignored. There's no system to ensure every email gets a timely response.
03
Inconsistent communication quality
Replies vary in tone, completeness, and speed depending on who's handling inbox on a given day. The brand voice is inconsistent.

What it does
Agent capabilities
Intent Classification
Every email gets categorized: sales inquiry, support request, partner outreach, invoice, spam, or custom categories you define.
AI Reply Drafting

Priority Flagging
High-value or urgent emails get flagged and surfaced immediately in Slack or a priority view — so nothing critical is missed.
Follow-up Scheduling
If no reply is received within your defined window, a follow-up email is drafted and sent automatically — no manual tracking needed.
Template Personalization
Personalizes templated responses with the sender's name, company, and specific context from the email — not generic auto-replies.
CRM Sync
Important email threads are automatically logged to your CRM with sender details, intent, and outcome — no manual entry.

FAQ
Common questions
What is AI email automation?
AI email automation uses a language model to read, classify, and respond to emails automatically. It can draft replies for human review, send standard responses directly, flag priority messages, and schedule follow-up reminders.
Will AI send emails without my approval?
That's configurable. For standard templated responses (e.g., booking confirmations, FAQ answers), the agent can send directly. For unique or high-stakes emails, it drafts the reply and places it in your 'Drafts' for one-click approval.
Which email providers does it work with?
We integrate with Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook, and Microsoft 365. The agent connects via OAuth and processes emails in real time as they arrive.
How does it handle follow-ups?
The agent tracks every sent email and schedules a follow-up reminder if no reply is received within your defined window (e.g., 3 days). It can also draft the follow-up automatically and send it with or without your approval.
