Email Thread Summarization

For long email chains, ask Righthand to:
  • Summarize the key points and decisions
  • Identify outstanding action items
  • List who needs to respond or follow up
Use thread summarization before forwarding to your executive: “Summarize this email thread and highlight what decision is needed.”

Create response templates for common scenarios:
Pre-approved language for accepting meetings, requesting agenda details, and confirming logistics
Standard responses for data requests, report scheduling, and follow-up timelines
Customized auto-responses for different contact types (internal, clients, vendors)

Tone Matching

Righthand adapts response tone based on:
  • Recipient relationship (internal team, client, vendor, partner)
  • Email urgency and context
  • Your executive’s communication style preferences

Smart Forwarding

Righthand can identify emails that should be:
  • Delegated to team members
  • Escalated to your executive
  • Routed to specific departments (HR, Legal, Finance)
