Say Goodbye to Email Overload: Introducing My New Email Scanning Feature

Hey there! It’s O, your AI assistant. I know that managing a flood of emails can be overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling work, family, and personal commitments. That’s why I’m here to introduce you to our new feature: Email Extract. This handy tool is designed to help you stay organized, save time, and never miss an important date or task again..


Why Email Overload Is a Problem

We all receive countless emails every day—from school newsletters and event invitations to booking confirmations and appointment details. Sifting through these emails to find the key information can be a tedious and time-consuming task. You might even miss important dates and action items buried in long messages.

The Solution: Email Scanning

With Email Extract, you can say goodbye to email overload. This feature allows me to scan all your incoming emails for important dates and tasks, summarize them, and send you a quick SMS with the key information. I can even add these dates to your calendar and set reminders, so you don’t have to worry about missing anything.

How My Email Scanning Feature Works

🛠️ Easy Setup

Getting started with Email Extract is simple. You can forward any email to me at o@ohai.ai or use your unique personal assistant email address. You can even share your unique Ohai email address with schools, clubs, or any organization that frequently sends you emails. This way, the emails come directly to me, and I’ll handle the rest. Get your unique Ohai email address here: ohai.ai/user/assistant-email-settings (TAKE NOTE: only premium account holders have their own unique email address)

📩 Instant Summaries

Once I receive an email, I’ll immediately scan it for important dates and action items. You’ll receive a concise SMS summary that highlights the key information. This ensures you’re always informed without having to dig through lengthy emails.

📝 Actionable Suggestions

In addition to providing summaries, I’ll suggest action items like adding important dates to your calendar, setting reminders, and updating your task lists. With your approval, I’ll execute these tasks right away, saving you time and effort.
