Tagatoo Email App Organizes Email Based on Intent

Tagatoo looks to improve the way we communicate with its new email app of the same name. For Gmail users (to start), Tagatoo looks to organize users’ inboxes by categorizing each email into one of three filters, depending on the intent of the email.

When composing a message, the app turns the standard Send button into a \"Send as\" button, with three possible intents: FYI, Quick Question or Action Request. Sending an email with a time-specific task (an action request) allows users to assign a due date to the thread so recipients don’t lose track. When receiving action requests, users can accept or decline the request, or instantly respond with a template message.

As users begin to categorize their emails, the app responds and organizes the Inbox and Sent folders based on intent, allowing users to address items on their to-do lists without searching the entire inbox. A reminders section breaks the inbox down further, based on each task’s due date.

Tagatoo’s feature set is limited for solo app users. These users will receive access to their own organized sent folder, with the app’s full capabilities opening up when both recipient and sender are using the app.

In a statement, Amir Borna, CEO and founder of Tagatoo, commented on the app’s inspiration:

I have been designing workflows and communication tools for many different industries throughout my career. Why we communicate is as important as what we communicate. If the “why” is not clear, it leads to misunderstanding, delay, and inefficiency. There are three fundamental reasons why we start a communication: sharing information, requesting information, and requesting action. The power of Tagatoo is to make the “why” crystal clear.

Tagatoo is available to download for free on the iTunes App Store, Google Play and Chrome Web Store. The app will be updated to support additional email platforms soon.
