How Inbox-Based AI Works

  1. Our system connects to your CRM to access relevant data

  2. AI crafts hyper-personalized message drafts using this information

  3. Users receive emails identifying high-priority contacts with ready-to-send draft messages

  4. After sending one message, the next highest-priority contact draft is automatically queued
     

All interaction happens through your regular email platform (Gmail/Outlook), requiring no new systems to learn.
