Signal. Triage and draft the inbox without you living in it.
An inbox that classifies, drafts, and queues — so the principal lands on signal, not noise.
The shift
Before Signal, and after.
Same office, same people — different operating posture.
Before
- — Hundreds of threads daily, three actually need the principal.
- — Drafts sit unwritten because writing them is the cost.
- — VIPs slip past in the wash of CCs.
After
- — Executive signal, triage, and noise — separated automatically.
- — Pre-drafted replies in your voice, ready to approve.
- — VIPs surfaced; mass mail collapsed.
How it runs
The Signal workflow.
A short loop the office actually runs every day.
Step 01
Classify
Sorts by sender importance, urgency, and topic to your stated thresholds.
Step 02
Draft
Composes replies for the threads that warrant one.
Step 03
Queue
Sends only after you approve — never auto-replies.

Trust posture
The same approval gate as every other module.
Helm never sends, schedules, or commits anything externally without an explicit office decision. Every action is logged in Verdict with diff and approver identity.
Approval-gated execution
Tamper-evident audit
Customer-owned memory
