AI Inbox & Calendar Manager

What It Is

Your HR inbox is a full-time job in itself. It should not have to be.

The average HR professional spends over two hours a day managing email. Triaging what is urgent. Drafting replies to questions they have answered a hundred times before. Chasing interview scheduling back and forth across a dozen messages. Sending performance review reminders that somehow still get missed. Every one of those hours is an hour not spent on the work that actually moves the needle.

Our AI Inbox and Calendar Manager is a custom-built AI agent that sits inside your existing Microsoft Outlook and Teams environment and handles the routine intelligently. It reads and classifies incoming HR emails, drafts context-aware replies in your organization's tone, manages interview scheduling without the back-and-forth, keeps performance review cycles on track with automated reminders, and surfaces concise summaries of long email threads so nothing important gets buried.

It works within your existing Microsoft 365 setup. Nothing changes about how your HR team works day to day. What changes is the volume of work waiting for them every morning.

The Technology

Built on tools your IT team already knows

We build this service on a stack specifically chosen for reliability, security, and compatibility with Microsoft 365 environments. No new platforms for your IT team to evaluate. No data leaving your existing Microsoft tenancy unless you choose otherwise.

• Make — The workflow automation backbone. Connects Outlook, Teams, and your calendar to the AI agent. Handles triggers, routing, and scheduling logic visually so you can see and adjust exactly how your automations work without needing a developer.
• Custom AI Agent — Built on OpenAI's API, this is the brain of the system. It reads and classifies emails, generates context-aware draft replies, and summarizes threads. Configured specifically for HR language, priorities, and your organization's tone.
• Microsoft 365 — Outlook for email triage and drafting. Teams for notifications and manager alerts. Calendar for interview and review cycle scheduling. Your team works exactly where they already work.
• Knowledge Base — A lightweight reference layer built in Notion or Airtable containing your HR policies, standard reply templates, and escalation rules. The agent consults this before generating any response, which is what makes replies feel like your team wrote them.

For teams that require all processing to remain within Microsoft's cloud infrastructure, we can configure the agent to run on Azure OpenAI Service instead of the standard OpenAI API. This is discussed and scoped during the consultation call.

How We Deliver It

Configured and live in three to four weeks

Who It Is For

This is the right service if

• Your HR team spends a disproportionate amount of time on email that does not require their full expertise to handle
• Interview scheduling is a persistent time sink that frustrates candidates and hiring managers in equal measure
• Performance review cycles are regularly delayed because reminders fall through the cracks
• Your organization runs on Microsoft 365 and you want AI that works within that environment rather than sitting awkwardly alongside it
• You have a lean HR team being asked to do more without more headcount
• You have tried folders, filters, and rules and it has not been enough

This service works for HR teams of any size. A two-person HR team at a 150-person company and a ten-person HR function at a 1,500-person organization face the same inbox problem at different volumes. The agent is configured and scales to both.

What to Expect

More time for the work that actually needs a human

• Common HR queries handled with accurate, on-brand replies drafted and ready to approve in seconds
• Interview scheduling completed in one automated workflow instead of four to eight manual emails
• Performance review completion rates that improve measurably because reminders reach the right people at the right time
• Long email threads summarized before your team opens them so they always walk in with full context
• A clear monthly record of query volume and types that informs HR resource and capacity planning
• An HR team that spends more of their day on the strategic, human work they were hired to do
