I love the idea (also wondering when Google would build this)

But the situation where emails are backing upload as you drive to work and back to back meetings sounds like a mismanaged workplace.

The real impact (not a startup idea really) is fixing whatever makes the workplace like that. Usually everyone needs to be involved in everything and bad meeting management. Could be bad prioritisation and taking on too much work. Could be busywork.

If AI could solve those problems or help it might be good.

Thank you. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

There is a category of users who have to deal with emails and meetings as a primary part of their job. For instance our power user is a Head of Sales who uses April to just get a rundown of his day and get context about his customers before the meeting. It's his typical workday and wouldn't be a mismanaged workplace.

Email is the proxy for work management in many orgs. I think it could be a stand-in for GitHub issues instead, and the desire to process it while not observing the screen makes sense. (But I agree with your overall distaste for managing work that way. “A World Without Email” by Newport speaks directly to to that)
