One thing that keeps coming up with senior folks I talk to—email turns into a pile-up. Not just junk, but too many messages fighting for their attention, buried threads they actually need, or stuff someone else could handle if it ever got to them.
At some point it’s not about missing an email. It’s the extra decisions, the dragging weight of trying to sort through everything. Most days, the inbox feels like a second job nobody asked for.
We've been putting together something to quietly take some of that off people's plates. Reads the pile, splits out what’s urgent, what’s just meeting links, filters out the noise. Shuffles what matters to the right project owners or department heads. Even fires back a reply on simple stuff that doesn't really need a person.
Screenshot attached, more for context. Still not sure if this is the real fix, or just treating symptoms.
