# Slashy for Executives

> VIP alerts for critical emails, weekly summaries, meeting prep briefings, and fast AI-drafted responses.

Executives get too much email and too little time. Slashy surfaces what matters, preps you for meetings, and drafts responses so you stay responsive without living in your inbox.

## Your Setup Checklist

<Steps>
  <Step title="Configure VIP Labels">
    Go to **Settings > Labels** and create VIP labels for your board, CEO, direct reports, and key external contacts. Their emails jump to the top -- everything else gets triaged by importance.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable iMessage Alerts">
    Connect your phone in **Settings > Integrations > Messaging > iMessage** and set alerts to VIP-only. You get texted when the board chair emails, not when a vendor follows up.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Train AI on Your Voice">
    Reply to 5-10 emails using `Cmd+Enter` drafts and edit each one. The AI learns your executive communication style -- concise, decisive, and on-brand.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Your Calendar">
    Link Google Calendar in **Settings > Calendars**. Slashy uses it for pre-meeting briefings and inserting availability with `Shift+Cmd+A`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create Executive Snippets">
    Press `n s` to create snippets for common responses: approvals, delegation requests, meeting follow-ups. Insert with `Cmd+Shift+S`.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Automations For You

Open the AI agent sidebar (`Cmd+Shift+L`) and set up these automations:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="VIP Email Alerts">
    Instant iMessage notification when board members, your CEO, or flagged contacts send you an email. Never miss a critical message even when you are in back-to-back meetings.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Weekly Email Summary">
    Every Monday morning, receive a digest of the past week's email activity: key threads, unanswered messages, and trends. Review your inbox landscape in 2 minutes.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Meeting Prep Briefing">
    15 minutes before each meeting, get a briefing with attendee email history, open threads, and relevant context. Walk into every meeting informed without manual prep.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Delegate with Context">
    Tell the agent *"Forward this to \[[ea@company.com](mailto:ea@company.com)] with a summary and next steps."* Your EA or chief of staff gets the full picture and clear instructions in one forwarded email.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Pro Tips

* **Triage in 5 minutes:** VIP labels + importance sorting means your top 10 emails are the only ones that matter. Use `j`/`k` to navigate, `Cmd+Enter` to draft, `e` to archive the rest.
* **AI drafts for speed:** Accept the AI draft for routine responses. Edit only when nuance matters. Most executives cut reply time by 60%.
* **Board prep on demand:** Ask the agent *"Summarize all board-related emails from the last month"* before any board meeting for a complete communication recap.
* **Delegate, don't forward:** Instead of forwarding raw threads to your EA, ask the agent to add context and action items. Your EA spends less time decoding and more time executing.

## Sample Agent Commands

Try these in the agent sidebar (`Cmd+Shift+L`):

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Triage & Summaries">
    * *"What are my most important unread emails right now?"*
    * *"Summarize all board-related emails from the last month"*
    * *"Give me a weekly recap of key threads and who I owe replies to"*
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Delegation">
    * *"Forward this to \[[ea@company.com](mailto:ea@company.com)] with a summary and next steps"*
    * *"Draft a response delegating this to \[direct report] with context"*
    * *"Send \[EA] my schedule conflicts for next week"*
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Decisions">
    * *"Draft an approval email for this request -- brief and decisive"*
    * *"Summarize this thread and highlight the key decision needed"*
    * *"What commitments have I made in email this week?"*
  </Tab>
</Tabs>
