The problem

Executives receive more email than they can read. Long threads with 15 messages require scrolling through history just to understand the current state. Meanwhile, replies need to be concise, on-tone, and fast.

Most AI email tools offer summaries and drafts, but they require full inbox access. For executives dealing with board communications, M&A discussions, HR matters, and confidential strategy, permanent third-party access to the inbox is a significant risk.

How Otis helps

Summarise
Forward a long thread to [email protected]
Otis reads the full thread and replies with a concise summary: key points, decisions made, and outstanding action items. You get caught up without reading 20 messages.
Draft
Forward to [email protected] for a reply
Otis generates a draft reply in your voice. You review, adjust, and send from your own email. Otis never sends on your behalf.
Extract
Forward to [email protected] for structured data
Otis pulls out key details: dates, amounts, names, deliverables. Useful for quickly cataloguing what was discussed without reading every line.

Why this approach works for executives

  • Selective sharing: You choose which emails Otis sees. Board papers, sensitive HR discussions, and personal emails stay private unless you explicitly forward them.
  • No IT approval needed: Because Otis uses email forwarding, there is no app to install, no account to connect, and no IT department to involve.
  • Works from any device: Forward from your phone, laptop, or tablet. Works with Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, or any provider.
  • No training on your data: Otis uses OpenAI's API, which does not train on customer data. Your forwarded emails are processed and the originals are deleted within 45 days.

What Otis does not do

Otis does not manage your calendar, prioritise your inbox, snooze emails, or auto-reply. It does not replace an executive assistant. It is a drafting and summarisation tool that works on demand. If you want an AI that manages your entire email experience, there are tools for that. If you want help with specific emails without giving up inbox access, Otis is built for that.
