step by step
1
set the privacy boundary
Decide which work accounts, apps, and people are in scope. exclude personal messaging, sensitive relationships, legal or health discussions, and any source you are not permitted to process.
2
choose a bounded period
Start with the last day or week. a smaller window makes it easier to verify whether a request was answered later.
3
collect conversations and meetings
Search by person, company, meeting, app, or topic. use transcript and visible message context only when it belongs to the relationship workflow.
4
identify explicit commitments
Extract requests, promises, stated dates, unanswered questions, and “waiting on” items. do not turn a suggestion or viewed task into a commitment.
5
check for later resolution
Search after each candidate item for a reply, delivery, cancellation, or changed owner. keep items as uncertain when the final state is outside the captured sources.
6
prioritize the queue
Rank by stated deadline, customer impact, and relationship importance. retain source app and time so each item can be checked quickly.
7
draft, review, then act
Create short drafts with no new promises. review recipient, tone, attachments, and private context before sending or updating a CRM.
