Common Tasks for Any Business
No matter what industry you're in, these everyday tasks are what Marin does best:
📧 Managing Customer Emails
The problem: You get dozens of customer emails daily and can't respond fast enough.
How Marin helps: Forward any email to Marin and ask it to draft a reply.
EXAMPLE REQUESTS

"Reply saying the product will be back in stock next week and offer to notify them"
"Send a polite response declining the request but wishing them well"
📅 Scheduling Meetings
The problem: Back-and-forth emails to find a meeting time waste hours every week.
How Marin helps: Tell Marin who you want to meet with and when. It creates the event and sends invites.
EXAMPLE REQUESTS
"Schedule a 30-minute call with john@company.com for tomorrow afternoon"
"Set up a team meeting for Monday at 10am with the subject 'Weekly Sync'"
"Move my 2pm meeting with Sarah to Thursday at the same time"
⏰ Setting Reminders & Follow-ups
The problem: Important tasks slip through the cracks when things get busy.
How Marin helps: Set reminders in plain English. Marin will email you at the right time.

"Check in on this in 3 days to see if they responded"
"Send me a reminder tomorrow morning to call the supplier"
📄 Creating Documents

"Make a spreadsheet to track this month's expenses"
"Create a simple project proposal document for [project name]"
📱 Social Media Posts

How Marin helps: Email Marin what you want to post, and it handles Instagram and X (Twitter).

"Tweet about our upcoming sale starting this weekend"
"Reply to the Instagram comments from yesterday's post thanking people"

How Marin helps: Ask Marin to search your emails, Google Drive, or even the web.
EXAMPLE REQUESTS
"Find the contract we signed with ABC Corp last month"
"What did Sarah say about the project timeline in her last email?"
"Search the web for industry trends in [your field]"
