EmailDecay: Inbox Debt Automator
Automatically surfaces and summarizes emails you've ignored for 7+ days, with AI-generated one-click responses for busy professionals.
The Problem
Knowledge workers accumulate hundreds of unanswered emails that create psychological debt and damage relationships. Existing email tools show unread counts but don't help with old, read-but-ignored messages. People either manually scan their inbox (time-consuming) or let emails die (professional damage).
Target Audience
Busy B2B professionals, managers, and freelancers who get 50+ emails daily and struggle with response debt (sales reps, recruiters, consultants, executives).
Why Now?
LLMs can now draft contextually appropriate emails at scale, and email API access is mature; this was technically impossible 2 years ago without false positives.
What's Missing
Existing solutions (SaneBox, Superhuman) focus on filtering/speed, not on systematically clearing ignored-email debt with AI assistance. No one is automating the emotional/professional burden of old unanswered threads.
