Hi HN,

We built an easy-to-use system to organize and search email correspondence.

While running a consultancy, we noticed that companies struggle with keeping their emails organized. They send and receive up to hundreds of emails a day, and they needed a simple solution to keep them organized.

We thought of creating a system where emails could be logged simply by sending it to an address. For example: If you receive a new invoice, you can simply forward it to invoices@company.matters.ai (or your custom subdomain), we handle the rest.

Matters.ai started as a consulting project for law firms. We couldn't find a simple solution to fit their needs, and the only options were expensive complex document-management solutions.

We already have a number of clients on the platform. It’s still in beta and we just made it public: https://matters.ai/.

We’d love your feedback, experience, and thoughts!

I had a similar idea. The search aspect of your service covers it but I think it would still be worth considering.

I work in science so we are often talking about specific samples Or entities with unique identifiers. I wanted a way to construct a database of all the conversations surrounding a given sample name - so I could browse through it or lookup the history of the conversations surrounding a specific sample.

The idea would be to supply a regex pattern to match all of the sample names and construct the database using that.

Similar situations exist in most industries I imagine - so having a way of recognizing patterns and classifying/organizing/browsing them might be worth considering for your service.

Also slack and similar services should be integratable.

Have you thought about doing this for Slack/Teams? The native search their is awful in my experience.
