Five things it does, so you don’t have to.

01Safety

Guards the door

Scams caught on sight.

The moment you open a message, OutlookDog reads it the way a suspicious human would: who actually sent it, whether the sending domain matches the name on the label, and what the message is pressuring you to do.

The verdict sits at the top of the pane, in plain English, before you’ve had the chance to click anything.

From

Northwind Bank alerts@northwind-billing-secure.example

Likely a scam — the sender’s web address isn’t the bank’s.

  • The display name and the real domain disagree.
  • A link says one destination and goes to another.
  • It wants a payment made inside the hour.

02Reading

Fetches the point

Summaries in one tap.

Twelve replies, three forwards, and the actual question buried somewhere in the middle. Tap once and the dog comes back with what the thread says and what it wants from you.

Short enough to read standing up, honest enough that you don’t have to scroll back and check.

OutlookDog Summary

This thread, in short

  • The vendor moved the deadline from the 30th to Friday.
  • Legal already approved the amended clause 4.
  • Everyone else on the thread is waiting on you.

03Writing

Speaks your language

Replies in your voice.

Ask for a reply and you get a draft that sounds like you wrote it — your words, your length, your degree of bluntness. Not a form letter with your name at the bottom.

Then you do the last part. OutlookDog hands you the draft and gets out of the way; nothing leaves your mailbox unless you send it.

In your voice

“Thanks for the nudge — I’m signing it today and it’ll be back with you before Friday. Shout if the date moves again and I’ll work around it.”

You read it. You edit it. You send it.

04Filing

Auto-categorize

Your whole inbox, sorted into five piles.

One tap on the Categorize icon and OutlookDog reads your recent mail and files every message into Caution, Act, Read, Reference or Noise — so the morning triage is done before you start it.

These are real Outlook categories, not a private label OutlookDog invented. Sort by Category in Outlook and the piles are there, on your phone and on the web, whether or not the add-in is open. It never sends, forwards, deletes or moves your mail — it just sorts it into categories.

05 TrainingNewest

Train your AI dog.

One sentence, applied from then on.

No rule builder. No conditions, no nested if-then, no dialog with six dropdowns. You type the thing you’d say out loud — mail from billing@northwindtraders.com goes to Reference, or don’t interrupt me for newsletters — and every scan from then on files what matches, including the mail already sitting in your inbox.

A rule is simple on purpose: mail from a sender goes to one of your categories — Act, Read, Reference or Noise. (The Caution pile is OutlookDog's own — no rule can file mail into it.) Name a domain instead of an address and it covers everyone who mails you from there, not just the one sender you had open.

Train it once and the rule stays taught — on this computer, your laptop and the web, because it lives in your mailbox rather than on our servers. It’s the newest thing OutlookDog does, and the one that saves the most repeat work.
