Dream or reality?

When it comes to email, how sick are you with friction?

I have searched for tools to make email as friction-free as possible for months.

I live in Outlook when it comes to email and hoped that with Copilot, I would start having all my email responses drafted for me and placed in the DRAFTS folder for me to review before sending.

I did a market scan to see if any startups were tackling this problem. I found many old companies, like Microsoft, jumping on the AI bandwagon and adding AI to their email products - but in the most lack last later way.

In many cases, adding more friction forces me to think.

Yesterday, I opened my ChatGPT 4o and started a conversation with Sky, and she blew my mind; I asked her if I could make my email more friction-free and automatically draft a response to all emails sent to me, placing the draft response in my drafts folder ready for my approval. She said sure and asked me a range of questions to build a working solution for me. Questions like what automation tool I wanted to use, Power Automate or Zapper. I said I use Windows 11 and have Power Automate Desktop installed. From there, she provided detailed step-by-step instructions on how to configure a flow between my email account and the OpenAI API that, once authenticated, would do just as requested.

So, let's see how it works over the coming week as I test it.
