From my own desk, every morning · email management

An inbox that flags what actually needs you.

The inbox is where an owner's judgment goes to get buried under everyone else's notifications.

The problem

I run two companies' worth of email, and triaging it ate about an hour and a half every morning. The real problem was never volume — it was that the five messages that genuinely needed me were shuffled into two hundred that didn't, and digging them out was how the day started.

What runs

Every morning at 7:15:

An AI reads the mailboxes — mine across both companies, and a key teammate's on hers.
It sends back a short summary: the handful of emails that need a personal response, each one flagged and summarized in a line or two.
Everything else waits, guilt-free, for whenever email time actually is.

The numbers

~1.5 hours a day down to 10–15 minutes Runs on two companies' mailboxes daily Zero emails answered by the machine — by design

The honest part

It doesn't answer anything. It decides what's worth your attention, and you still do the judging. That's deliberate — the rule we build everything by is: automate the schedule, never the judgment. An AI that answers your email sounds great until it answers one wrong.

This runs in my own operation today.
