Show HN: calculate@email-cost.com MVP to reduce emails in corporate environment

“So if you're sending one email that you wrote in 10 seconds to 20 people, you're not spending 10 seconds, but more like 20 minutes of resources: wouldn't it be better to work 5 minutes to find a solution yourself?”

I aim to be the person who will take 5 minutes to find a solution rather than seeking it via email or tweet. Evaluating my time vs others’ time and attention is habitual throughout my career. I pride myself in being capable and considerate. But many corporate, office, or otherwise networked cultures will drown out a person’s focused effort and wins among the outspoken or otherwise visible folk.

I appreciate your work in bringing to light email as a costly tools in the process of knowledge sharing and coordination.

Hi HN!

I am developing calculate@email-cost.com a chatbot whose goal is to reduce the overall emails in corporate environments --emails are not kept by the system. For the moment it only replies with the cost of your mail, taking into consideration the reading and interruption time. This is a "skateboard MVP" so feel free to play with it and comment below.

As a side note, the most expensive mail I found in my mailbox is 125.40 USD, does someone have more than that? ; )
