A task in your day
I set up a way to bring agreed follow-ups out of your inbox and into a list you already use. Each task should show who is waiting, what was promised and where the commitment came from. You decide the priority and the next action.

An email saying you will send a document is different from an idea that might be worth discussing. A useful task list should make that distinction. I work through examples with you so suggestions do not quietly become obligations.
A due date also needs a basis. If a message does not include one, the assistant can ask for a date or leave it unset. Inventing a deadline makes the list harder to trust.
The destination might be Google Tasks, a printed daily plan or an existing task system. The first choice is the habit you will maintain. Adding a second system that needs manual checking can create another place for work to disappear.
Two emails can refer to the same follow-up. A later reply can change the date or cancel the request. We test those cases before expanding the setup, and agree what happens when the assistant is unsure.
A useful review is whether the list reflects your actual commitments. Where you want to estimate its value, we can use your own record of missed follow-ups or time spent rebuilding the list.
Illustrative example
An illustrative first version tracks one clear category instead of trying to recognise every possible commitment.
What we would agree first: A reminder does not confirm that a document is correct or authorised for sharing. You review the document and decide when to send it.
The first version can simply prepare your list. Drafting or sending client messages is a separate capability with its own permissions and review rules.
That is the starting preference. I check whether the existing system supports a suitable connection before proposing a change.
We agree how tasks are matched to their source messages and test replies, changed commitments and completed items. You need a clear way to correct the list.
A starting point
We pick one job worth fixing and measure it first. The fee for each step is agreed before it starts.
