have you ever felt overwhelmed by a cluttered inbox and dreamed an AI could sort through it all what if I told you that it's not only possible but it's also a game changers and CEOs are begging to pay for a lawyer in that b Toc space there's a huge need here for that marketing piece I mean in this video I'll show you how I used AI email inbox agent turn this email chaos into this organized Simplicity and why it's becoming a secret weapon that top Executives will happily pay for we cover everything from things this
AI can do the steps I took to build it and the resources I used to build it quickly the real impact this AI can have in Saving Time for you and your team how reliable it is and how it handles secure information and finally I'll show you how anyone yes even you can Implement a solution like this and sell it for yourself so if you want a super clean inbox or learn how to implement it and sell it here's what you should know but if you're new to this channel I'm Simon I'm a CS grat
from NYU and I've been working as a professional software engineer for the last 6 years recently I just left Amazon to start my AI software company my goal is to work with businesses to create AI services that solve real world business problems and then turn these into software products and if I can help you build your idea my hope is you let me invest in that early okay so what sparked the idea for my email agent how did I get an idea for this email agent well it all began with my Consulting work where I
used to help clients apply AI to solve and create custom Solutions for their biggest challenges while Consulting one of my clients a managing partner a CEO of a law firm expressed a massive time sync that he was having this time sync was sorting through emails he had around 200,000 unsorted emails in his inbox and these could be client communication which means money on the table for this he needed a solution to tackle this head-on why was this an issue well he would spend hours every day going through his inbox and sorting these emails also more
kept coming in every day and it was getting and manageable doing this in addition to running the law firm think about it this way his time working on cases was more than $11,000 an hour for billable hours if he's wasting his time sorting through emails of all things he's basically just burning thousands of dollars we want to be able to do cuz this could be an amazing B2B tool I think I can really direct you guys a lot of intelligent ways on how I mean so we thought what could we do how could we solve
this the major model neck he was facing was the sheer volume of emails especially as a CEO his time was very valuable this valuable time was being lost on a daily basis and important emails were getting buried this is because he would manually tag each email and then have to move them into this thing called Cleo that law firms use uh doing this every day would eat up hours of his day and it was not worth that he even contemplated he even thought of hiring someone just so their only job would be sorting through his
emails but I thought of a better way to solve this and use his existing assistant for other additional tasks that he might have been doing so what did we come up with and what did we build so we contemplated on using Ai and natural language processing to autoc categorize and write up drafts for his email based on how he normally writes and the data in his company so for example the categories would be like this is a customer email this is a personal injury case this is just a random newsletter Etc so one thing we
tried to do was initially just to get by the authentication quickly we tried to use something like zapier or make.com to go through all his emails and then process it through the custom code we wrote for him so based on the categories that he needed right but the problem here was that zapier and make was super expensive because it charges for operation if we want to go through over 200k emails that's just unfeasible because that's a lot of operations so we tried to look for a lot of ways to solve this cost issue but we
couldn't find one however one day I was just looking around and I found this video from AI Json and this guy puts out such good content this video basically shows how he had made something similar and we could potentially use that idea Mark emails and answer emails as if he was doing it additionally something big we found was this thing called n8n n8n was a game changer because this is open source and could be run on your own computer so what is n8n right so NN is an open source alternative to zapier and what you
think might be thinking why does this matter well because it's open source and it could be run on your own computer it could be Run for free which means you don't have to charge and there's no money that you need per operations so we could run it on our own computers for free this solved the problem for the zapier and make.com costs now that we found something for a good long-term solution the plan was we were going to use n8n for the authentication and do the email processing with the custom logic we built for him
also we were going to run this locally on his computer so all operations were free and it would keep running all the time on a schedule also I'm going to leave a bunch of resources that we made for him for you guys but we'll go over later on how to use them for yourself so how effective is this custom solution so we implemented some code where we took each email he had and then it would go through one of our apis so what does this code do to put it simply when a new email comes
in it finds the best category to put it under based on what our clients had mentioned then for each email it will create an autodraft based on his previous emails so he could answer and fire off these emails quickly and then it would also categorize if it needed to be escalated to more important folder based on the contents of the email so this was our plan so right now we're trying to execute this idea locally and it seemed to work pretty well here have a look run code and then after we see okay let's run
it we initialize it we're going through the mail we can do this or schedule it for whenever we want now that it's done let's go back to the calendar and refresh it we'll see that the mail our code will have seen that their that mail came in and it'll sort it to the Cleo folder and Cleo file and also create a calendar invite so you know when the problem is so whenever he gets a new email it triggers n8n and whenever this needs to be done and it goes through our custom code it sorts his
inbox so his inbox remains clean it was a two-legged approach one of them we already went through his old in box and the second part is now every email that comes in will be sorted also everything is saved so nothing gets lost but we ran into a new problem what if these emails were sensitive we couldn't just use and pass it through chat GPT because it might leak the information tackle the sensitivity issue right now we're implementing this so it can be done through a local model on their local hardware and software that they actually
have so nothing gets out to anyone like open Ai and because it's on nadn everything is local and run by open source software including the custom code that we wrote so now we had it we can now schedule meetings and appointments as well so whenever an email comes through that would say hey you have a court date at this time with this guy it will take it parse it and then automatically sort it into Cleo so the lawyers can review and be on top of it so they avoid any malpractice lawsuits this calendar reminder also
we can fire off other scheduled reminders so no one ever forgets and everyone is reminded on the team overall this is how we made an AI agent for a CEO and we're Consulting with him to improve it every day this is just one of the tasks we've been helping him with where he's paying us around 3K a month to develop so what impact did it have so let's take this example if the CEO has an hourly rate of $1,000 and he's spending 2 hours a week the worst case is the lowest amount on sorting these
emails that he used to at a minimum we're saving him $22,000 a week so it's instant return on investment but if you're thinking how can others use the solution so if you're thinking hey I'm new I can't code well let me show you how you can take this and sell it without knowing how to code we're going to basically adapt the solution for General use okay so this solution took some time to build up and you can clearly see how it can make sense for someone and they would benefit and even pay for it but
for you guys I'm giving away all the code and the automation Frameworks I'll also have workshops on how to make these and modify this soon on my Discord server I'm just starting out right now and I hang in there so join and ask me any questions if you have any so how can you Market this AI email solution right so the version we just talked about handles sensitive business information and is all done locally but not everyone needs that so comment down a good use case and we can build that together I'll give you guys
the most important pieces right now and if you want a quick rundown of basically how this works here's an example basically we set up NN and link your email to it and whenever email comes through it will make an autodraft and categorize it so how can this concept be turned into a profitable business this is just a small example of one of the things we were Consulting on and building with clients I'm going to be bringing on more and more things to show you guys slowly and give you all the code and resources you need
to make this and build a software service and I'm making it so that you can learn for free I'm pretty sure anyone can take this and then make it into a software idea just because there's so much demand and so many other firms that aren't even law firms that would need something like this so now how can you sell it for yourself let's talk about that so in the same way I made it you could take this code and the Frameworks and the flowcharts that I give you and apply it this version I'm sharing is
a simplified one so anyone can use it and apply it and it's not overly customized beyond what you might need but there's one more thing to consider like drafting an email that captures your tone and responds accurately with your information to achieve this you need to feed it a data from Ai and here's an example below to achieve this you need to feed the AI a lot of examples of your writing style so how do you do that well the data I'll refer you to introduced in my newsletter I'll share this so you can apply
the same thing this concept was basically inspired by this guy AI Jason and he makes really good content if you're really good at coding so you're probably wondering how can I take this and turn it into a software product that I can sell a clean inbox is something most CEOs would need and it'll be very very easy to market the solution because you can see the instant return on investment so if you want to know the secrets that I have used to take a product like this and turn it into a profitable software business click
