We've worked with enough operators in Blenheim to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI email triage project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

What AI email triage actually does
Inbox gets the AI treatment – drafts replies, files quotes, escalates the urgent, and snoozes the noise. Your team starts the day at zero, not 200 unread.
- 01 Drafts replies in your tone, ready to send
- 02 Auto-files attachments to the right job folder
- 03 Detects complaints and pings the right person
- 04 Weekly digest of what was handled while you slept
Built on: Claude Gmail API Microsoft Graph Vercel

How we build AI email triage for a Blenheim team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Blenheim business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI inbox manager.

Questions
FAQ
When does AI email triage actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Blenheim – so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Do you have proof this works for Blenheim businesses?
Direct case study: Inbox time cut from 2 hours/day to under 30 minutes. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI email triage can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, Gmail API, Microsoft Graph, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
