Quick share for founders who are also builders. I was spending 2+ hours a day in Gmail: triaging leads, figuring out who I owed a reply, drafting follow-ups that actually referenced what we talked about last week. I tried every CRM. None of them fit a solo founder workflow. So I built ARIA - a terminal-native Al agent that: Syncs your real Gmail locally (incremental, fast) Triages your inbox automatically with reasons (“why this matters”) Remembers relationship context per contact (what you discussed, what you promised, what they prefer) Drafts emails that actually use that context Gives you a daily brief: who replied, what’s heating up, what deals are going cold I run it every morning. ‘aria brief’ > ‘aria inbox --today –latest’ > draft + send. 20 minutes, done. I’m also taking on a few founders as retainer clients if you’d rather have someone set it up and run it for you. submitted by /u/akmessi2810
