Sample use cases

What this looks like in practice

Three concrete scenarios where teams deploy Email Triage Agent today. Your engagement starts with one of these (or your own variant) and expands from there.

01

Cross-tool order processing

A B2B distributor wires email-in orders → invoice generation → shipping label → CRM update into one agent. Daily 2-hour ops job becomes a 15-minute review.

02

Inbox-to-action pipeline

An executive's inbox gets categorised, action items pushed into Linear, meetings booked, drafts pre-written. They review-and-send instead of compose-from-scratch.

03

Compliance-aware approvals

Procurement requests get routed by amount, category, and risk — agent gathers context, pings the right approver, escalates if SLA breaches.
