Add a “Most Common Topics” or “Topic Distribution” section to the analytics dashboard that automatically categorizes and displays the most frequent topics

Problem

Users have no visibility into what topics dominate their inbox. Understanding the composition of an inbox would help users:

  • Identify patterns they weren't aware of
  • Make better decisions about email organization
  • Save time by automating common categories

Proposed Solution

Add a "Most Common Topics" or "Topic Distribution" section to the analytics dashboard that automatically categorizes and displays the most frequent email topics.

Examples

  • Support inbox: "refund requests" (25%), "bug reports" (20%), "feature requests" (15%)
  • Founder inbox: "fundraising" (30%), "legal" (20%), "user feedback" (25%), "team" (15%)

Why This Matters

Once we understand the real makeup of an inbox, we can:

  1. Auto-suggest rules — If 30% of emails are legal-related, suggest creating a "Legal" label
  2. Surface insights — Show users patterns they might not notice themselves
  3. Improve automation — Better understand which categories would benefit most from AI handling

Note: if you're going to take on this task, best to write here what your high level approach is so we can discuss it makes sense.
