Frequently Asked Questions

How much time does the average professional spend on email? +

The average professional spends 2.5 hours per day on email, which adds up to roughly 650 hours per year. For executives and founders handling high volumes (100+ emails daily), it's often 3-4 hours per day. That's 780-1,040 hours annually — the equivalent of 20-26 full work weeks.

How much time can AI email agents save? +

AI email agents can automate 60-80% of routine email replies, saving most professionals 1-3 hours per day. The exact savings depend on your email volume, the percentage of routine emails, and how long each reply typically takes. This calculator uses your specific numbers to give a personalized estimate.

What types of emails can AI handle automatically? +

AI email agents handle routine and repetitive emails best: meeting confirmations, status updates, standard follow-ups, FAQ replies, scheduling coordination, and acknowledgment emails. Complex negotiations, sensitive HR matters, and highly creative communications still benefit from human attention.

How is this calculation made? +

The calculator multiplies your daily email volume by the average time per reply to get total daily email time, then applies the routine percentage to estimate what an AI agent could handle. We assume 5 working days per week and 50 working weeks per year. The dollar savings multiply time saved by your hourly rate.
