Your customers get answers.
Your team gets time back.

We build two things: an AI live chat that handles customer questions on your website in real time, and an AI email system that drafts or sends replies across every inbox. Both trained on your data, your tone, your rules.

What is email automation?

Email automation uses AI and workflow tools to manage your email communication automatically. This goes beyond basic autoresponders — it includes reading and categorising incoming emails, drafting contextual replies, sending personalised follow-up sequences, and routing messages to the right team member. Modern email automation powered by AI can understand the intent behind messages and respond appropriately based on your business rules and tone of voice.

Email automation is ideal for businesses that handle high volumes of customer enquiries, run outbound sales campaigns, or need consistent follow-up sequences without relying on individual team members to remember every email.

Your team spends hours on things AI can handle in seconds

The same questions land every day. Order status, refund requests, pricing queries. Your team knows the answer, but finding the info and typing the reply still takes time.

Slow responses

Customers wait hours for simple answers while your team manually checks different systems.

Rising costs

Every ticket costs time and money. As volume grows, you hire more or let response times slip.

No real context

Generic chatbots don't know your products or policies. They give vague answers that frustrate customers.

Can't take action

Most tools just reply. They can't cancel an order, process a refund, or check stock. Your team still does that manually.

Two ways we automate your customer support

We don't just build one chatbot and call it done. We give you two systems that cover every channel your customers use. Live chat for instant answers, and email AI for your inbox.

AI Live Chat

Customers get answers instantly, not after a 20-minute wait

A chatbot on your website that actually knows your business. It looks up orders, answers pricing questions, processes requests, and hands off to a real person when it needs to, all in real time.

Under 5 seconds. Average response time for common questions
Takes real action. Cancels orders, processes refunds, checks stock
24/7 coverage, no night shifts, no extra hires needed
Human handoff. Complex issues go straight to your team

Watch it handle a real request in under a minute

Same AI brain across every real-time channel

Your customers reach out in different ways. The AI uses the same company knowledge and tone everywhere.

Website Chat

A chatbot on your site that handles common questions instantly. Looks up orders, explains services, answers pricing queries, and hands off to a real person when needed.

Your website 24/7 Human handoff

Support Tickets

Incoming tickets get read, categorised by type, prioritised by urgency, and responded to automatically. Complex ones get flagged for your team with full context.

Auto-categorised Priority flagging Smart escalation

Social DMs

DMs on Facebook and Instagram get answered using the same knowledge base as every other channel. Same tone, same accuracy. No more leaving messages on read.

Human escalation built in
When something's too complex or sensitive for AI, it flags it for your team with full context. No customer ever gets stuck talking to a bot that can't help them.
AI Email Automation

AI that reads, writes, and sends your emails

Every incoming email gets read, matched against your company data, and replied to. Either automatically or as a ready-made draft your team can review and send. Works with Gmail, Outlook, and shared inboxes.

Customer emails in. AI writes the reply.

A real enquiry comes in. The AI reads it, checks your company data, and drafts a reply. Your team can send it as-is or tweak it first.

Hi there,

We're a marketing agency with about 20 staff and we're looking at automating some of our client reporting and email follow-ups. Could you give us a rough idea of pricing and what's included?

We currently use HubSpot and Mailchimp if that helps.

Thanks,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for getting in touch. For a team of 20 with HubSpot and Mailchimp already in the stack, we'd typically look at two things:

Client reporting automation. We pull data from HubSpot and build reports that go out to your clients automatically. No more Friday afternoons spent compiling them. Starts at around £2,500.

Email follow-up sequences. Automated sequences in Mailchimp triggered by client activity or deal stage. Keeps leads warm without your team having to remember who to chase. Starts at around £1,500.

Happy to jump on a quick call this week. Would Thursday or Friday work?

Best,
The Autoeight Team

Pick the level of automation that works for your team

Both use the same AI engine and company data. The only difference is how much control your team keeps.

Draft Mode

AI Drafts, Your Team Sends

AI writes the reply and drops it into your inbox as a draft. Your team reviews it, makes any tweaks, and hits send. Way faster than writing from scratch, full control over what goes out.

Works inside Gmail, Outlook, and shared inboxes. Turn draft mode on or off per inbox whenever you want.

  • Full human oversight on every reply
  • 10x faster response times
  • Consistent tone from your company data
  • Edit, approve, or send in seconds

Everything the AI needs lives in one datasheet

Before we go live, we build a detailed customer datasheet with you. Pricing, products, policies, FAQs, tone of voice, escalation rules. Everything the AI needs to represent your business properly.

Replies stay grounded in your approved info, whether it's sending automatically or preparing drafts for your team.

Grounded Responses

Replies are built from your approved content. Fast answers that still sound informed and consistent.

Your Voice, Your Tone

We shape the AI around your communication style so every reply sounds like it came from your team.

Always Up to Date

Update the datasheet and the AI picks up the new info straight away. No retraining needed.

Smart Escalation

Anything outside the datasheet gets flagged and sent to the right person with the context they need.

Plugs into the tools your team already uses

Connects straight to your existing tools. No migration, no disruption. Each integration is set up around how your business already works.

Click any integration below to see how it connects.

We connect through secure OAuth, no passwords stored. The AI reads incoming emails, applies your label and folder logic, and either sends replies or drops them into drafts from your address. Works with shared inboxes, aliases, and Google Groups.

Full integration through the Microsoft Graph API. Handles shared mailboxes, distribution lists, and delegated access. Meeting requests, calendar events, and ready-made draft replies all fit into the same setup.

Every email gets logged against the right contact and deal. Deal stages update based on reply content, new contacts get created for unknown senders, and your pipeline stays tidy without manual data entry.

Email events can trigger actions across your full stack. Slack alerts, Notion entries, invoices, team handovers. Inbound emails can also kick off follow-up sequences automatically.

Frequently asked questions

What is email automation?+

Email automation uses AI and workflow tools to handle your email communication automatically. This includes reading and categorising incoming emails, drafting replies, sending follow-up sequences, and routing messages to the right person — all without manual effort.

Can the AI reply to emails on my behalf?+

Yes. We can set it up to draft replies for your approval (human-in-the-loop) or send them automatically for routine queries. You choose the level of control for each type of email.

Will automated emails sound robotic?+

No. We train the AI on your tone of voice, previous emails, and brand guidelines. The emails it generates sound like they came from your team, because they're based on how your team actually writes.

What email platforms does this work with?+

We integrate with Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook, Microsoft 365, and most major email marketing platforms. We connect via secure OAuth — no passwords stored.

How quickly can email automation be set up?+

A basic email automation system can be live within 1-2 weeks. More complex setups with multiple sequences, CRM integration, and conditional logic typically take 2-4 weeks.
