Pillar 1 · Email-in capture
Stop transcribing your inbox into your to-do list.
The task was already written — by the client who emailed you. Forward that email to your private LoopVantage address and AI pulls out the commitment, the deadline, and who's involved. You tap yes. That's the whole workflow.
Works from Gmail, Outlook, or your phone's mail app · No inbox access, ever
The mechanic
Forward. Extract. Accept.
Three steps, and only one of them is yours to do twice.
Forward or BCC it
Every account gets a private capture address. Forward the email with the buried ask — or BCC the address when you make a promise — from any mail client, on any device. No plugin, no extension, no new app to open.
AI reads it so you don't re-read it
The extractor finds the commitments inside the thread: what needs doing, who asked, who owes whom, and any deadline hinted at along the way. Each becomes a candidate card with a verb-first title — “Send the revised SOW,” never “Client stuff.”
One tap makes it real
Candidates land in your Task Inbox for a yes or no — Y/N on the keyboard, a tap on your phone. Nothing enters your list without your explicit accept, so your list stays yours, not the AI's.
The ask was buried on line 4 of Tuesday's email. Now it's a tracked commitment — and you never typed a word.
What the AI actually finds
Three kinds of loops hide in every thread
LoopVantage sorts each extracted item by which way the obligation points — because a promise you made and a reply you're owed deserve very different treatment.
Things you must do
Someone asked you for something — a review, an answer, a deliverable. It becomes a candidate task with the deadline they mentioned, so the ask stops living rent-free in your working memory.
Things you promised
“I'll get you numbers by Thursday” is a reputation on a timer. These items carry the most weight in your Do This Next ranking — because breaking an external promise costs more than a missed chore.
Things you're owed
Forward the ask you sent, and accepting it arms the Follow-Up Radar — the part of LoopVantage that nags until the reply arrives. The follow-up black hole closes at the moment of capture.
The Task Inbox
Every candidate shows its work.
No mystery tasks appearing in your list. Each extraction arrives as a card that tells you what kind of loop it is, how confident the AI is, and exactly which email it came from — with a deep link back to the source thread in Gmail or Outlook. Skim, tap, done in seconds.

Why forwarding wins
Achieve inbox-to-task capture without handing over your inbox
Every other tool solves this by asking for full mailbox access. We think that trade is worse than the problem.
One address, every inbox
Split between a Gmail and an Outlook account — or three of each? Forwarding works identically from all of them, simultaneously. Inbox-sync tools make you pick a mailbox; your capture address doesn't care which one the email lives in.
You choose what the AI sees
Nothing scans your mailbox looking for “tasks” in your newsletters, your bank alerts, or your personal threads. The AI reads exactly the emails you forward — and only those. A curated diet also means sharper extractions.
No inbox scopes to trust us with
Sign-in with Google or Microsoft is identity-only — LoopVantage never requests permission to read your mail, so there's no permission to misuse. Read the privacy architecture for the full picture.
Want full autopilot anyway? Opt-in, read-only ambient inbox sync is on the roadmap. Forward-based capture stays forever — some things shouldn't require handing over your mailbox.
The fine print, proudly
Small details that keep capture trustworthy
Verified senders only
Your capture address accepts mail exclusively from the addresses you've confirmed with a one-time code. Anyone else trying to inject tasks into your list is shouting into the void.
Raw email purged
After extraction, the original message is deleted. Only the commitment, a short context snippet, and the subject line remain — enough to act on, nothing to hoard.
Duplicates get flagged
Forward the same thread twice and LoopVantage surfaces “possible duplicate of…” instead of silently doubling your list — or silently merging things it shouldn't.
Deep links to the source
Every task keeps a one-click link back to the original thread in Gmail or Outlook, so the full context is one tap away when you actually do the work.
Low confidence, clearly labeled
When the AI isn't sure, it says so. Uncertain extractions arrive flagged for a closer look instead of masquerading as facts — and truly weak guesses never reach you at all.
Radar hand-off built in
Accepted waiting-for items flow straight into the Follow-Up Radar with counterparty and expected-reply date pre-filled. Capture once, get chased automatically.
