Inbox at rest.Mind at work.

Your inbox, but it answers back. An AI executive assistant for independent professionals whose inbox runs their business — triaging, answering questions about past correspondence with cited sources, and drafting replies that understand the full thread.

Solo $59/mo · Pro $99/mo · A human EA costs $3,000–6,000/mo. We're closer to the assistant; the math is the assistant.

01 · The problem

Email has become a full workday inside your workday.

121

emails per day, average professional inbox

Mailbird / Radicati Group, 2024

28%

of the workweek lost to email

McKinsey Global Institute, time-cost study

The independent professional receives, on average, one hundred and twenty-one emails a day. McKinsey's research puts the time cost at twenty-eight percent of the workweek — more than a full day, lost each week, to a queue. The work that actually moves the business waits behind a thicket of drafts, follow-ups, and threads that get read twice because the context was lost the first time. Nothing about this is new. What is new is that there is finally no reason to accept it.

02 · How it works

Five minutes from connect to answers.

One OAuth click. The last six months of your inbox indexed in your tenant. Elysia is ready by the time your coffee's poured.

Step 01

Connect Gmail.

One OAuth click. Read-only by default — Elysia asks before it sends.

Step 02

Index your inbox.

The last six months, encrypted in your tenant. About five minutes for the median professional inbox.

Step 03

Ask anything.

Every answer is grounded in your correspondence, with the source emails attached.

03 · Ask Your Inbox

Every answer comes with the emails that prove it.

Elysia answers questions about your inbox the way a thoughtful colleague would — in plain language, with the source emails attached. No paraphrasing, no guessing, no inventing a quote you never wrote.

05 · Drafts

Drafts that understand the full thread.

Elysia reads the entire thread — including the chain Sarah forwarded you on March 12, and the CC you replied to a month before that. Drafts come back in your voice, with the specifics that matter. Nothing is sent without your sign-off.

Context Elysia drew on
Reply to Sarah Chen (Acme Logistics) — thread of 14 messages over 3 weeks, last activity 2 hours ago. Elysia pulled from a 4-message forwarded chain (Mar 12 — Procurement review) and your last 6 SOW replies to similar clients.
Sarah, Confirming the milestone-2 clarification before I send the revised SOW. You're right that net-30 should reference the milestone delivery date, not the invoice date — I'll have the corrected version over by end of day. The procurement notes from Andrea's Mar 12 review line up with what we agreed last week, so I don't think we'll need a separate call before signing. Happy to jump on a quick one if it would help close any open questions on your side. One small note: I'd like to keep the existing language on scope-creep handling in §4 — it's served us both well on prior engagements and I don't see a reason to revisit it here. M.

06 · Get started

Two minutes. Then it's yours.

Four screens, two minutes, one OAuth click. Elysia indexes the last six months of your inbox in your tenant, and your first morning briefing is waiting before you finish your coffee. No demo call. No onboarding webinar. No "set up your workspace."

Step 01  ·  Invite landing

No tour. Just begin.

The first screen has one sentence about what's about to happen and one button. No demo videos. No "tour." No welcome dialog. Maya's already decided — she invited herself.

  • LengthOne screen, one click.
  • AccountNo password — Google sign-in.
  • Time~10 seconds.
Step 02  ·  What we ask Google for

Two scopes. Both readable in English.

Before Google's consent screen, Maya sees plain-language framing: exactly what Elysia will read, exactly what it can do, and exactly what it can't. Elysia never sends. Every draft lands in Maya's Drafts folder for her sign-off.

  • ReadGmail messages & calendar events.
  • WriteDrafts only — never Send.
  • RevokeOne click in Settings, anytime.
Step 03  ·  Reading your inbox

Six months of mail.Ready in five minutes.

Pass one summarises threads. Pass two builds the citation index so every answer is provable. All of it inside Maya's tenant, encrypted at rest with per-tenant keys. She can close the tab — an email lands when the briefing is ready.

  • WhereYour tenant, your keys.
  • CoverageLast six months by default.
  • TrainingYour data never trains a model.
Step 04  ·  First morning

The page she'll open every weekday.

Two minutes after she clicked the invite, Maya's first briefing is waiting. Quiet. Ranked. Cited. Nothing to learn — Elysia already knows her. By the third morning, she's stopped opening Gmail first.

  • Delivered7:00 AM, Maya's local timezone.
  • Reads in~90 seconds.

07 · Privacy and precision

Privacy and precision as defaults, not afterthoughts.

Elysia is built for people whose correspondence is privileged. Three things, on the record:

Architecture

Each customer's data sits in its own encrypted partition.

Elysia indexes your inbox in your account, on infrastructure you control. Per-tenant keys mean there is no shared infrastructure between accounts — not for other customers, and not for us.

Your inbox stays yours. Everything else is sealed.

On the record

Not used to train AI.

Your inbox stays yours. We don't train models on customer correspondence — not for product improvement, not for evaluation, not for anything. Ever.

On the record

Encrypted at rest.

Every email indexed by Elysia is encrypted on disk with per-tenant keys. Access is logged and rate-limited; nothing leaves your tenant without an explicit user action.

On the record

Delete everything, anytime.

One click to remove your entire index. We don't keep what you don't want us to keep — and complete purge from our systems happens within 72 hours.

08 · Why we built Elysia

Every professional we work with tells us the same story. Hours disappear into their inbox.

The same threads get read twice because the context is lost. Follow-ups slip. Decisions wait. The tedious work — the kind that doesn't make the difference but quietly consumes the time you needed for the work that does — has become the default state of professional life.

At MCE Business Technology, we've spent years helping businesses adopt the technology that should already be working for them. And we kept arriving at the same conclusion: it's 2026, and there is no reason any professional should still be losing four hours a day to an inbox. The models exist. The infrastructure exists. What's been missing is a product built specifically for the people whose time is their business — independents, consultants, founders, operators — and built with the rigor their work demands.

So we built it. Elysia is the executive assistant we believe every professional deserves: one that reads, reasons, and acts on your behalf, with privacy and precision as defaults rather than afterthoughts.

We're onboarding the first cohort ourselves. If this sounds like the assistant you wish you had, join the list — we'd like to talk to you.
