yep went down a rabbit hole trying to build a company around this. it’s the perfect UI

text + attachments into the system, text + attachments out

Well, it’s funny. This is essentially how I deal with many professionals in my life.

My finance guy, tax attorney, other attorneys. Send emails, get emails, occasionally a blind status update from them.

Sure, we have phone calls, sometimes get together for lunch.

But mostly it’s just emails.

I am still very open to this one. An email-based, artificial coworker is so obviously the right way to penetrate virtually every B2B market in existence.

I don't even really want to touch the technology aspects. Writing code that integrates with an LLM provider and a mailbox in E365 or Gmail is boring. The schema is a grand total of ten tables if we're being pedantic about things.

Working with prospects and turning them into customers is a way more interesting problem. I hunger for tangible use cases that are actually compatible with this shiny new LLM tooling. We all know they're out there, and email is probably the lowest friction way to get them applied to most businesses.
