Consumers tackle email management with customized control settings

Prompting users to cut down on text, apply snooze settings and even sort through emails in a gamified manner, this approach not only makes organizing information more efficient, but it also adds a fun, experiential element to traditionally mundane processes.

Workshop Question - How could your brand better an existing product by developinh an extension or app.
