Handled for You Inbox Desk
Handled for You Inbox Desk is a handled-for-you managed desk where ElaborationAI takes over a bundle of repeat operational tasks, reviews the output, and sends back usable results. This page is for small business owners and operations managers who want email work to feel like a single managed desk rather than a stack of half-tuned filters.
Desk definition - Handled for You Inbox Desk
The Inbox Desk bundles the repeat email work — triage, reply drafting, quote-request capture, daily digests, and exception routing — under one managed operating rhythm. AI-assisted workflows do the routine classification and draft work; human reviewers check every classification and every outgoing draft before it reaches a customer or your decision queue.
Work taken over - Handled for You Inbox Desk
The desk handles inbound email intake, classification, and routing, customer email reply drafting with reviewer sign-off, quote-request email handling and structured capture, the daily digest of what the inbox saw, and exception flagging for messages that need owner judgment. The exact mix is set at intake.
Work that stays with the client - Handled for You Inbox Desk
Final business decisions and customer commitments stay with you. Access control over the mailbox, pricing approvals, and judgments that touch a regulated area route back to you with the context the desk captured.
What gets sent back - Handled for You Inbox Desk
You receive a reviewed daily digest with intent tags, drafted replies queued for owner approval where needed, and structured quote-request records ready for follow-up. Drafted replies are never sent without reviewer sign-off; the digest is the channel where you see what the desk saw today.
Daily and weekly rhythm - Handled for You Inbox Desk
Daily, the desk runs an inbox sweep on the agreed schedule, ships a daily digest with classification and urgency, and flags urgent customer threads in real time. Weekly, the desk reviews recurring sender patterns and recommends small label and rule updates so the operating rules stay tuned. You do not need to log into a dashboard to keep the rules current.
Human review - Handled for You Inbox Desk
Every outgoing drafted reply is reviewed before it queues for send. Urgent and ambiguous classifications go through a reviewer before the daily digest ships. Any thread that touches compliance, finance, legal, or medical judgment is routed back to you with the full context, not buried in a generic queue.
Start-small option - Handled for You Inbox Desk
If a full desk is more than you need on day one, start with one narrow workflow — for example inbox triage only — and expand the desk scope when volume justifies it. If the workflow needs custom routing, a non-standard label taxonomy, or system integrations, a set-it-up engagement comes first.
Pricing - Handled for You Inbox Desk
The desk is priced by managed desk scope, expected email volume, cadence, required integrations, and review depth. Quotes are delivered through the workspace order flow after intake. Public pages do not publish fixed prices or promise revenue, ranking, advertising, legal, medical, or financial results.
What ElaborationAI is and is not - Handled for You Inbox Desk
ElaborationAI is a services company. The Inbox Desk is managed service work, not a self-serve software product and not a marketplace for virtual assistants. The agent is one tool inside the desk; the desk is what you buy.
