Does this remove the need for a shared inbox?

No. Assignment and internal visibility still matter. PreSorted removes the manual reasoning and writing, not the organization.

Will it duplicate work Front already does?

No. Front handles who owns a conversation; PreSorted handles what the reply should say.

Is approval still required?

Yes, by default every draft and action waits for a person before it goes out.

PreSorted vs. Front

Front organizes who sees what. PreSorted decides what to say .

Front is a well-built shared inbox - assignment, internal comments, collision detection. It's still a person reading and writing every reply. PreSorted reads the email, checks your systems, and has the reply ready before anyone opens it.

The short version

Front solves ownership and collaboration inside a shared inbox - who's handling what, and who's talked about it internally. PreSorted solves what happens before anyone starts writing: reading the email, checking context, and preparing a reply and action ready for approval.
