About

Most professionals struggle to be productive. While working and focusing on a specific task, email newsletters or random advertisements reach their inbox, which costs about 20 minutes every time in order to get back to work. While email clients are tools that millions of people use, currently there are no smart features that allow our users to filter emails, schedule when emails will be delivered to them and whitelist or blacklist emails.

Solution & Product

Our product is an integration tool for emailing platforms which uses smart filtering and Artificial Intelligence to automatically filter emails related to newsletter, spam or promotional content. Our tool can be personalized to the needs of any customer by defining smart filters and personalizing their email deliverability schedule in order to become more productive.

Innovation & Scalability

While most of the solutions available in the market simply put the email account in “snooze mode” which blocks the user from accessing inbox mail, our solution filters the incoming emails and does not deliver them immediately, but rather based on the filtering and schedule preferences of the user. Our tool offers a fully automated smart filtering solution so that our customers can enjoy productive working hours, anytime they wish for as long as they wish. Working professionals' inbox consists of nearly 85% spam related content, our aim is to reduce that volume by 40% making a significant difference in our customers concentration and efficiency. Our tool is the most affordable on the market in comparison to our direct competitor mailman who does not provide the blacklisting of specific senders.

Traction & achievements

We have done a market research for our product, created prototypes which were given to potential users for testing, gained feedback from the users and restructured our prototype based on their needs and preferences. We have also launched our MVP based on our final prototype and gained our first paying customers and acquired a 15,000 EURO funding from EIT digital 2021.
