Email Overload Isn't a Productivity Problem — It's a Filtering Problem
Recruiters receive hundreds of emails per week. The real issue isn't volume — it's prioritisation.
The Problem
Recruiters receive hundreds of emails per week: CVs, client queries, job specs, "just checking in", marketing noise.
The real issue isn't volume. It's prioritisation.
The Real-Life Example
A user built an Email Triage Agent that:
- Scanned inbound mail
- Categorised by intent (urgent client, candidate follow-up, internal)
- Flagged revenue-related messages
- Drafted reply suggestions
- Highlighted missing information
The consultant still replied personally. But they no longer spent 30 minutes sorting inbox chaos.
The Outcome
- Faster response times
- Fewer missed opportunities
- Reduced mental load
- More control over the day
AI didn't answer emails automatically. It prepared thinking. That's a meaningful distinction.
