AI Daily Email Summary Agent with OpenAI

Unlock Peak Inbox Efficiency with this AI Agent

Tired of drowning in a sea of daily emails? This AI Agent acts as your personal assistant, sifting through your inbox every morning. It connects to your Gmail account, gathers all emails from the past 24 hours, and then employs OpenAI's advanced language models (like gpt-4o-mini) to intelligently summarize each thread, identify crucial details, pinpoint potential issues, and extract actionable tasks. The result is a neatly organized HTML report, delivered straight to your team's inbox, ensuring everyone starts the day informed and ready for action.

Key Features & Benefits

• Intelligent Action Item Extraction: Goes beyond summarization to identify and list key details, potential issues, and specific action items with assigned names if discernible from the email content.
• Customizable Digest Format: The AI's output format for summaries and actions can be tweaked via the OpenAI prompt to suit your specific needs.
