Some emails demand too much of your time. Multi-page reports, endless CC threads, and forwarded attachments can easily drain 15–20 minutes each. With AI Summaries in Zenbox, you no longer have to wade through every word. Instead, you get a clear, concise summary that highlights the essentials—so you can act faster and stay focused.
Why It Matters
- Save time: Cut reading time by up to 80% on long messages.
- Spot key points instantly: Who is asking, what they need, and by when.
- Stay consistent: Summaries strip away noise, so nothing important is missed.
How It Works
- One-click summarize: Open any email or thread and press Summary.
- AI condenses content: The system scans the message (and attachments if present) to identify intent, deadlines, and action items.
- Result in seconds: A structured, human-readable summary appears instantly in your reading pane.
Example: Instead of five pages of back-and-forth, you’ll see:
What AI Summaries Can Handle
- Long threads: Condenses conversations into a single overview with highlights of key decisions.
- Attachments: Extracts core points from PDFs, docs, or slides so you know what’s inside before opening.
- Action items: Clearly identifies tasks, deadlines, and owners where possible.
The Benefits
- Fewer misunderstandings: Everyone sees the same concise version of the message.
- Faster response: You can reply confidently without scanning every line.
- Energy preserved: No more decision fatigue from email overload.
Tips for Best Use
- Skim first, act second: Let the summary guide your next step—reply, delegate, or schedule.
- Use with AI replies: Combine summaries with AI-assisted drafting to cut even more time.
- Archive faster: If a message has no action item, archive it immediately after reading the summary.
What You Gain
With AI Summaries, a five-minute email becomes a 15-second scan. Multiply that across dozens of messages, and you reclaim 30–40 minutes every day. More importantly, you act faster, stress less, and keep your inbox moving.
