Your inbox contains valuable knowledge—insights, decisions, context, and reference material. But email archives are terrible for retrieval. Email-to-notes conversion changes that.

Feature Overview

Email to notes converts forwarded emails into searchable, organized notes. AI extracts key content, creates semantic embeddings for meaning-based search, and links related information. The result is a knowledge base built from your email without manual organization.

How Email-to-Notes Works

The Conversion Process

  1. Forward an email to your Lolodex address
  2. AI processes the content—text, attachments, and metadata
  3. Key information is extracted—dates, people, topics, action items
  4. Semantic embeddings are created for meaning-based search
  5. Note is saved and linked to related content

What Gets Captured

  • Full email body with formatting preserved
  • Subject line as note title
  • Sender information for source tracking
  • Date and time for chronological context
  • Attachments with content extraction

Best Content for Email-to-Notes

Newsletters

Newsletters contain curated insights. Converting them to notes creates a searchable archive of expert content from sources you trust.

Meeting Summaries

Meeting notes emailed after calls capture decisions, context, and action items. As notes, they become reference material for future decisions.

Project Updates

Status emails, milestone announcements, and progress reports. Converted to notes, they create project history you can search.

Reference Information

Policies, procedures, how-to guides, and documentation shared via email. As notes, they're findable when you need them.

Why Notes Beat Email Archives

Better Search

Email search is limited to keywords. Note search includes semantic understanding—finding content by meaning, not just words.

No Inbox Clutter

Valuable content separated from transactional email. Your knowledge base is distinct from your to-do pile.

Cross-Source Queries

Search across all captured content at once. Email archives can't easily search across senders or date ranges meaningfully.

AI Enhancement

Notes can be queried with natural language. Ask questions and get synthesized answers from multiple sources.
