Read the 40-message thread in 30 seconds

Every long email chain boiled down to the bullets that matter -- decisions, open questions, and what they need from you.

You've been cc'd on a thread since Tuesday. It's now 43 messages deep, the subject line stopped making sense three replies ago, and someone just asked you directly: 'thoughts?'

The answer is in there somewhere. Finding it means reading the whole archaeological layer cake -- or admitting you didn't.

THE ROUTINE

What it does

This routine runs every morning. It finds email threads longer than five messages that need your attention and summarizes each into the essentials: what's being decided, what's open, and what's being asked of you.

You reply with context in minutes, and nobody knows you skipped the dig.
