AI-Based Email Automation for Enterprise Document Management


Discover Our Services

As enterprises scale, handling inbound communication becomes increasingly complex. Email attachments remain an area of oversight: invoices, purchase orders, contracts, and reports flow into people's inboxes every day, taking hours from their lives. Manually downloading, sorting, and storing these essential documents will make you inefficient, cause errors, and waste valuable time.

Nightsight's AI-driven email automation solution can help with that. This comprehensive system makes your time-consuming chore of centralized storage, secure email, and program scalability into an automated workflow.

Developed with Python, authentication handled by OAuth, and based on cloud storage, this scheme uses company-grade AI platforms and Generative AI for corporate logic to manage, classify, and store essential email attachments automatically. This level of automation will reduce human error and save valuable hours.
