Follow-Through
Follow-Through is an AI-powered email assistant that automatically detects commitments and promises made in Gmail conversations. By connecting read-only to a user's Gmail account, it scans incoming and outgoing threads to identify when a user commits to an action, such as sending a document or making an introduction, and tracks it to completion. It surfaces open commitments in a daily briefing, sorted by urgency, and automatically resolves items when a relevant reply is detected, minimizing manual task management. The tool is designed to prevent dropped promises that can cost deals and damage professional reputation. It distinguishes firm commitments from casual language, logging only actionable items. Users see a dashboard with open, overdue, and resolved items, along with insights like follow-through rate and average resolution time. The average user reportedly catches 11 commitments per week they would have otherwise missed, with 87% resolving automatically upon reply. Privacy and security are emphasized: Gmail access is read-only, raw email content is never stored, and only extracted follow-up items (title, date, involved parties) are saved. The service is migrating to Azure OpenAI with zero data retention and implementing end-to-end encryption for stored follow-ups. SOC 2 Type II certification is in progress. Pricing offers a free first month, then $4.49/month for individuals (billed annually) and $8.99/seat/month for teams (minimum 5 seats) with Outlook integration planned. Enterprise plans are custom. It aims to replace the habit of manually auditing sent mail and ensures commitments are not forgotten.
