Get long email threads summarised by AI
Employees summarise long email threads and documents to get up to speed on the current status quickly
Fits: Leaders & strategy · Sales · Marketing & communications · Customer service · HR · Finance & accounting · Purchasing · Legal & compliance · IT & software development · Office, administration & casework · Research & development · Teaching & education · Creative & media production
After a holiday, covering for someone or taking over a case, you know within minutes what has been decided, what is open and who is waiting for whom, instead of reading thirty emails from the bottom up.
Is this for you?
- You regularly take over cases, get copied into long threads or come back from a holiday or a period covering for someone.
- Your employer has approved an AI assistant, or you can remove names and customer data from threads beforehand.
Take a long, completed email thread, replace names with roles such as “Purchasing” or “Customer” and remove customer data. Use the template below to have the status summarised, and check each point against the email it cites.
How to go about it
- Decide what kind of status update you need
- Provide the complete thread
- Have the status summarised
- Check the key points against the original emails
- File the status with the case or hand it over
- Agree on a handover structure in the team
