Tutti for founders: delegate email without losing control

The short answer

A founder's inbox mixes investors, press, partners, and hires, and most of it needs a reply only the founder can approve. Tutti lets an assistant or chief of staff work the founder's Gmail alongside shared addresses, with AI labeling every conversation and drafting replies, while the founder approves the ones that carry their name.

The problem with a founder's inbox

A founder's inbox is the company's front door. Investors, journalists, partners, candidates, and customers all write to the one address they can find, and most of those messages need a reply only the founder can approve. Delegating the whole inbox feels risky; not delegating means important email waits days.

How Tutti works for founders

Your inbox and the company's, together. Connect your Gmail alongside shared addresses like hello@ or press@, so an assistant or chief of staff can work everything in one place.
Triage you can trust. AI labels each conversation, such as Investors, Press, Partners, or Hiring, using definitions you write.
Drafts in your voice. Replies are drafted from the whole thread, with unknown details left as [placeholders] rather than guessed.
You approve what carries your name. Your chief of staff drafts and submits; you approve and send, or request changes with a note.
Nothing extra stored. Only label-matched threads are imported; everything else stays in Gmail. AI runs on zero-data-retention providers.

Tutti vs Gmail delegation for executives

Gmail delegation lets an assistant read and send from your account, and it is a good start. Tutti adds what delegation lacks: one inbox across several accounts, automatic labeling, a draft on every thread, and an approval step so an assistant can prepare replies that you sign off.
