Triage small-business email and draft replies in the owner's voice
Hermes categorized emails by urgency, drafted replies in the owner's voice and flagged the 10-15% needing human decisions, reportedly cutting triage from over 2 hours to about 15 minutes daily.
Done withHermes Agent
- What they did
- Jejo.ai ran a managed Hermes Agent deployment for 90 days at a service business handling 30 to 50 client interactions a week. Hermes sorted incoming email by urgency, drafted replies in the owner's voice, and flagged the items that needed a human decision. The owner spent 15 to 20 minutes a day giving corrections during the first four weeks.
- How it went
- Email triage fell from over 2 hours a day to about 15 minutes. Urgency accuracy reached 91% by month 2 and 93% by month 3. Complex or sensitive emails still needed the owner.
- Worth knowing
- Skipping the daily feedback in weeks 1 to 4 left accuracy near 75% instead of 93%. The managed plan costs $750/mo, and this is a vendor-run review.
