Queenstown sits in a regional context that genuinely changes the build. Connectivity assumptions, the rhythm of the working week, the proximity of your team to your customers – none of those are details our default AI email triage template would catch.

AI email triage that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Otago.
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

What Queenstown teams tell us when they get on a call.
- Queenstown's economy is tourism on rails – peak season is chaos, shoulder season is brutal. AI smooths both.
- Hospitality, accommodation, adventure operators, and a tight labour pool that empties every winter. AI here means coverage when staff can't be hired.
We work with teams across Queenstown: CBD · Frankton · Arrowtown · Jack's Point · Arthurs Point · Wanaka.

Questions
FAQ
What's the realistic timeline for AI email triage with a Queenstown?
Most Queenstown businesses have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational – your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
Is AI email triage worth it for a smaller Queenstown?
Often, yes – and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
Anyone else in this space using AI email triage?
Plenty. Inbox time cut from 2 hours/day to under 30 minutes. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI email triage is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude, Gmail API, Microsoft Graph, Vercel are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
