The Problem

The operations team was processing more than 1,200 inbound emails per day across support and operations queues. During peak periods, manual tagging and routing added hours of delay before a single request was even assigned.

Manual Categorisation Work

Agents spent significant time tagging requests instead of resolving them.

Routing Delays

Incorrect or late tags sent requests to the wrong queue.

Inconsistent Priority Handling

Urgent emails were not always identified quickly enough.

Limited Reporting Clarity

Category performance was hard to measure due to inconsistent labels.

Our AI-Powered Solution

InboxPilot applies intent detection and policy-driven tagging to incoming emails, then routes each message to the appropriate workflow.

Intent Classification

Models classify inbound emails into operational categories with confidence thresholds.

Strong baseline accuracy with predictable routing

Priority Detection

Identifies urgent requests from language cues and customer profile signals.

Critical issues surfaced earlier

Routing Automation

Applies category tags and sends emails to team-specific queues automatically.

Reduced queue-handoff delays

Human Override Controls

Agents can correct tags and feed changes back into tuning workflows.

Continuous quality improvement over time

InboxPilot gave us control of a chaotic inbox. Tagging and routing are now mostly automatic, and our teams spend their time solving requests, not sorting them.
