Ai Email Watchdog

Agentic Ai in Action:

The Goal

Never lose track of what matters. This tool goes through every incoming email, finds important messages, blocks risky ones, and sorts everything for the right person or team—without missing a beat.

What does it solve?

Most inboxes are crowded with spam and critical messages buried beneath them. Manually checking emails takes hours and leads to costly mistakes. This solution protects against phishing, ensures urgent emails get seen, and cuts out dull sorting work for good.

Doing this manually wastes hours and risks human error, letting critical emails slip through or opening the door to phishing attacks.

How does it help?

Saves each staff member 4 to 8 hours weekly by handling email sorting and security, so nobody has to do it themselves

  • Finds nearly every security threat before anyone can click on it

  • Makes sure every message is accounted for, so nothing gets lost, missed, or ignored

  • Handles busy inboxes without slowing down or crashing systems, thanks to a smart AI safety net

With “Email Watchdog,” businesses can relax knowing their inboxes are clean, secure, and organized, allowing teams to focus on real work.

The 6 Steps of this Ai Workflow

The Autonomous Email Analyst

Step Business Function What It Does (The Benefit)
1 Email Ingestion & Rate Control
The Digital Bouncer
Controls how fast emails come in (max 20 at a time) to prevent system overload and API cost spikes. It monitors your inbox and ensures stable processing.
2 Threat Detection & Spam Filtering
The Security Guard
Immediately spots and eliminates spam, phishing attempts, and suspicious links before any complex processing starts. It assigns a risk score to every email.
3 Processing & Security Assessment
The Clean-up Crew
Cleans and standardizes the email content, extracts key data, and performs a comprehensive security analysis. High-risk emails trigger immediate security alerts and logging.
4 AI Classification System
The Multi-Layered Classifier
Uses a three-tier approach to classify emails (e.g., Auto-reply, Ticket, Escalate). Starts with Gemini AI, falls back to OpenAI if that fails, and uses rules as the final backup. Guarantees no email goes unclassified.
5 Data Validation & Quality Control
The Fact Checker
Combines results from all classification steps, validates that all necessary fields are present, and applies final business rules for a complete, accurate classification. Guarantees quality output.
6 Email Routing & Response Actions
The Action Taker
Routes emails to the appropriate handlers based on the final decision. This includes sending automatic responses, logging tickets, or triggering immediate Slack and email alerts for urgent escalations. Takes action instantly.

The Evidence

  • Saves Every Person: Eliminates 4 to 8 hours of manual inbox work per person, every week.*

  • Security: Reduces the chance of any single employee clicking a phishing email by over 99%. *

  • Reliability: Guarantees 100% classification of every email, so no message is ever forgotten.*

  • Efficiency: Eliminates manual sorting and triaging, ensuring urgent issues are flagged instantly and routine emails are handled automatically.

  • Technology: Built on a robust tech stack pipeline designed for data quality, rate limiting, and comprehensive error handling.



*Industry Benchmark/Time Study: Based on the standard amount of time a service rep or team member spends manually sorting spam, triaging, and categorising tickets. The 100% classification is based on the multi-tiered AI fallback system (Gemini → OpenAI → Rules).
