AI email concierge (Gmail sidecar)

Keep Gmail, let AI organize, summarize, and nudge replies

Problem

Important emails get buried, forcing users to manually search, flag, and reply. Some want an AI email manager but fear replacing Gmail or privacy issues. The core pain: don't want to switch email, just need an assistant that continuously understands the inbox and nudges action.

Solution

Using Gmail API read-only access, continuously analyze the inbox, automatically categorize important emails, generate summaries, detect items needing reply or action, and push reminders. All data processed locally or encrypted, no email body stored.
