# How can a team use AI to keep a shared inbox, such as info@ or sales@, under control?
Start by sorting a few weeks of past email into the handful of categories that matter, with an owner for each. AI then labels each new message, pulls out key details such as the customer, order or deadline, and drafts a reply for routine requests from approved answers. People approve replies before they are sent, anything urgent or sensitive is flagged at once, and spam and newsletters are filed away. A daily list shows anything still waiting for an owner.
## What this means in practice
- Sort past email into a few categories, each with an owner.
- Label new messages and pull out key details automatically.
- Draft replies to routine requests from approved answers.
- Have a person approve replies and handle urgent or sensitive email.
- Review a daily list of messages still waiting for an owner.
## How Lid Vizion approaches it
We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
