Email is where a small company's outside world arrives — and it sits scattered across inboxes no agent can read. We built the fix in one afternoon: a $0 Gmail collector, three accounts, every mail landing as a plain file. Here's the recipe, plus three decision rules — including when not to build.
Years of SME office work taught us why most automation attempts die: people try to automate the report before the data can be reached.
