Email summaries for executives and managers

At your level, the problem isn't reading your email. It's separating what needs your decision from the rest.

The problem, then what changes

The cost of an executive inbox

An executive receives a volume of email no full read can absorb: reports, approvals, internal escalations, external requests, committee threads. Most are informational; a few demand your call. All the value is in that sorting, and it's exactly the part that eats your time.

Today

  • An unmanageable volume where the essential hides behind the trivial
  • Urgent escalations or approvals diluted among “cc'd” emails
  • Executive time spent sorting instead of deciding
  • The difficulty of telling what needs your decision from what can be delegated

With InboxBriefs

  • Only what needs your decision
  • Context in one sentence
  • Delegate with full context

In plain words

What InboxBriefs does, in three sentences.

1

You connect your mailbox.

Gmail, Outlook or your company's own server. Read-only: InboxBriefs can read your email, never send, delete or change anything.

2

It reads your email for you.

Every morning you get a sorted brief: what is urgent, what is important, and what is just for information.

3

Anything that needs doing becomes a task.

With a date, an owner and a reminder. When the reply arrives, the task ticks itself off.

Your email, your tasks, your calendar, your projects, your documents and your team: one place instead of six.

How InboxBriefs helps

Only what needs your decision

The summary puts what's waiting on your call at the top and files the rest. You start the day with a short list of decisions, not an inbox of several hundred messages.

Context in one sentence

Each important email is summarized in one or two sentences: who's writing, why, what action is expected. You grasp the stakes without opening the thread, and dive in only when needed.

Delegate with full context

Seeing clearly what needs your level and what doesn't, you hand off faster to the right person, instead of keeping everything “to deal with later.”

Rules to copy (and adapt)

  • Mark as urgent any email where I'm the primary recipient and a decision or approval is requested.
  • Prioritize emails from my leadership team, the board, and my team leads.
  • File as FYI emails where I'm only cc'd, unless explicitly asked.

Frequently asked questions

How does the tool know what deserves my decision?+

It combines its content analysis (who's writing, what action is requested) with your rules. You can specify that any email where you're cc'd becomes FYI, and that requested approvals rise to urgent.

Can my assistant use the same summary?+

The summary is sent to the connected inbox's address. Many executives share or forward it to their assistant to prep the day together, and since it's just an email, it forwards like any other message.

Is it confidential?+

Yes. Read-only access enforced by Google, encryption at rest (AES-256-GCM), and emails forgotten after the summary is generated. InboxBriefs can't send or modify anything in your inbox.

Your attention is your rarest resource. A prioritized summary reserves it for the decisions that matter. You can try it with no credit card: the 14-day free trial includes 14 summaries, enough to feel the difference over a real work week.

Try it on your own inbox.

Connect your mailbox, pick your time, and get a sorted brief and your first tasks tomorrow morning. No credit card.
