My Agent Auto-Replies to Emails While I Sleep

Incoming emails trigger automatic responses. You wake up to a clean inbox.

You get 47 emails a day. Maybe 200 on a bad day. Most of them are the same five questions:

• "What's your pricing?"
• "Do you have a free trial?"
• "Can I get a demo?"
• "Is this compatible with X?"
• "I forgot my password."

You've answered these questions 800 times. You could answer them in your sleep.

Actually, now you can.

The Problem

Email doesn't stop. It piles up while you're in meetings. It grows while you're sleeping. It multiplies while you're on vacation.

You come back to 300 unread emails. Half of them are asking the same thing. The other half are waiting on your answer to move forward.

You could hire a VA. You could set up a clunky auto-responder that says "Thanks for your email! We'll get back to you in 3-5 business days!" — which is corporate speak for "we'll forget about this."

Or you could let your agent handle it.

The Solution

Penut's event system listens for incoming emails and triggers your agent automatically.

When an email arrives, your agent reads it. It figures out what the person needs. It drafts a response. It sends it — or sends it to you for approval first, if you prefer.

You're not writing the responses. You're not even reviewing most of them. Your agent learned from your templates and past replies. It sounds like you. It just never sleeps.

What You Get

Zero inbox anxiety. Wake up to a clean inbox. Your agent handled the routine stuff overnight.

Smart responses, not canned ones. Your agent reads each email and responds to what the person actually asked. Not a generic "thanks for reaching out."

Approval when it matters. Routine questions get auto-replied. Complex or sensitive emails get flagged for your review. You control the threshold.

Works with Gmail and Outlook. Connect either one. Same workflow. Same approval system.

Event-driven, not poll-driven. Your agent doesn't check email every 5 minutes. It gets notified the instant an email arrives. No delays. No missed messages.

Real-World Example

A customer emails at 2 AM: "Hey, I'm trying to integrate your API but getting a 403 error. Can you help?"

Your agent reads it. Recognizes it's a common auth issue. Drafts a response with the exact fix — including a link to the relevant docs. Sends it.

You wake up at 8 AM. The customer already replied: "That fixed it, thanks!" The issue is resolved. You never opened your inbox.

Total time spent: zero. Customer satisfaction: high.

What This Means for You

Your inbox stops being your to-do list. Routine emails get handled. Important ones get your attention. You actually know the difference.

Customers get instant answers. No more "we'll get back to you in 24 hours." They get help now. They're happier. They stay.

You get your time back. That's 1-2 hours a day you're not spending on email. That's 5-10 hours a week. That's a part-time job's worth of time, given back to you.

Next Step

Connect Gmail or Outlook. Set up an event listener. Tell your agent how to handle common questions. Go to sleep.
