Sorting for the inbox everyone shares

Every email read, filed and sent to the right personBefore anyone opens the inbox

Mail arriving in your shared account gets read, classified and routed on rules you wrote. Every decision is logged with its confidence, so you can check it in seconds rather than trust it.

Runs on the mailbox you already have. Nothing changes for the people emailing you.

Example inbox

The problem

A shared inbox is everyone's job, so it is nobody's

Hundreds of messages a day land in one account. Everything gets read twice or not at all, and the one that mattered is somewhere on page four.

Someone reads it all by hand

Every message gets opened, judged and dragged somewhere. On a busy day that is a whole morning.

The urgent one gets buried

It lands between two newsletters late on a Friday. Nobody sees it until Monday, when it is a complaint.

Nobody knows who has it

Two people reply to the same customer, or neither does, because nobody records who picked it up.

Nothing sits waiting

Every message is read and routed the minute it lands

It classifies each email and either files it where it belongs or forwards it to the person who deals with that. By the time anyone opens the inbox, the sorting has already happened.

  • Filed or forwarded, on the routes you defined.
  • It knows your team, so service requests reach the person who handles service.
  • What it cannot place, it leaves, rather than filing it somewhere nobody looks.

Example routing

You can check its working

Every decision is logged, with how sure it was

Open any email and you can see where it came from, where it went, which rule fired and how confident it was. Low confidence means it asks rather than guesses.

  • A confidence score on every decision, so you know which ones deserve a second look.
  • The rule that fired is named, so a wrong call tells you exactly what to edit.
  • Nothing is hidden. Every message it touched is on the record.

Example record

A morning briefing

You find out what happened without opening anything

A summary arrives each day with what came in, where it went and what was left for a person. If you only read one thing about the inbox, it is this.

  • Sent to you, rather than waiting in a dashboard you have to remember to open.
  • The exceptions first, because the routine mail needs no attention.
  • Trends over time, so you can see what your inbox is actually full of.

Example summary

Routing that matches your team

Rules in plain words, grouped the way you work

A rule group is a path a message can take: file it here, forward it there, or work it out first. Inside each group you say what belongs there, in your own words.

  • Written in plain English, so anyone on the team can read them.
  • As many groups as you need, added whenever a new kind of email starts arriving.
  • Per person routing, so the right name gets the right kind of message.

Example rules

Yours to change

Describe a new rule in a sentence and it starts working

You add and edit the groups and rules yourself. There is no support ticket and no waiting on us, which matters because the shape of an inbox changes every few months.

  • New rules take effect immediately, on the next message that arrives.
  • A wrong call is a rule to sharpen, and the record tells you which one.
  • We do the first setup with you, then it is yours to run.

Example rule

Built for the busy day

Several hundred emails is a normal Tuesday

Volume is where hand sorting breaks down, because the day you get twice as much mail is the day nobody has time to file it. It handles every message the same way regardless.

  • The same standard morning and evening, on the quiet days and the awful ones.
  • Backlogs get worked too, alongside the mail that arrived today.
  • Nobody's morning disappears into it, which is the point.

Example data

Getting started

Sorting your inbox within a day

We build the first set of rules with you, from the folders you already have.

1

We look at your folders

The way you already file things tells us most of the rules. We write the first set with you.

2

We connect the mailbox

One connection to whichever mail system you run. Nothing changes for anyone sending you email.

3

You watch it for a week

Every decision is on the record. You sharpen the rules that need it, then stop thinking about it.

Questions

The things teams ask us first

What is an email sorting app?

An email sorting app reads incoming mail and decides what to do with each message, so a shared inbox is triaged before a person opens it. Emily classifies every email against rules you wrote, files or forwards it to the right person, records its reasoning and confidence, and leaves anything it is unsure about for a human.

What happens if it gets one wrong?

Every decision carries a confidence score and names the rule that fired, so a wrong call points straight at the rule to sharpen. Anything below your confidence threshold is left for a person rather than routed.

Does it delete anything?

No. It files, forwards, marks read and archives on the routes you defined. Nothing is deleted and every message it touched stays on the record.

Can it handle a shared inbox with several people in it?

That is exactly what it is for. It knows who handles what and forwards accordingly, which also removes the problem of two people replying to the same customer.

How long does it take to set up?

Usually a day. Your existing folder structure tells us most of the rules, we write the first set with you, and you review a week of decisions before leaving it alone.

Can we change the rules ourselves?

Yes, and without contacting us. You add groups, edit rules and change who receives what, and the next message that arrives uses the new version.

Where does our email data live?

In your own workspace, separate from every other customer, with access limited to the people you invite. Connection credentials are stored encrypted. We will walk through the specifics on the call.

Give it one day of your inbox. See what is left for a person.

Fifteen minutes on your own mail, not a canned demo. You will see the routes it would take and exactly what it takes to set up.

No obligation, and nothing to install to take a look.
