Follow-up tracking
How alfred_ keeps track of threads waiting on you and threads waiting on someone else — and where that surfaces.
Most things slip through inbox cracks because you replied once, the conversation went quiet, and nobody picked it back up. alfred_ tracks every thread’s response state automatically, and surfaces what needs your attention in the Daily Brief — there’s nothing to configure.
What you’ll see
Three sections of your Daily Brief are driven by follow-up tracking:
- Overdue promises — things you said you’d do but haven’t replied with
- Waiting on them — you replied, the ball is in their court, and the typical response window has passed
- Relationship risk — people who matter to you that you’ve gone quiet on (most urgent)
Each item links straight to the thread, with one-click actions to draft a follow-up, archive, or snooze the thread inside the Brief.
How alfred_ decides a thread needs attention
For every thread, alfred_ tracks:
- Who replied last — was it you, or them?
- How long it’s been — measured against the typical response time for that contact
- What was asked — was a question still unanswered? a deadline mentioned?
When a thread crosses the threshold, it surfaces in the next Brief.
Asking alfred_ for follow-up status
Anywhere you can chat with alfred_:
- “What am I waiting on?”
- “Anything overdue with [client]?”
- “What did I promise this week and not finish?”
- “Draft a polite follow-up to that thread with Sarah from last week”
