Show HN: FranzAI – An AI Email Assistant that sits behind an Email-Address

you send franzai a request to get a reminder i.e. Fwd: ... Remind me about this email next week before lunch.

FranzAI hands this to the ChatGPT api together with a timestamp of your email.

chatgpt calculates the time and writes a json a la { action: [reminder], howfarinthefutureinseconds: 1234254 }

the program logic saves this into a database with a timestamp when the reminder should be executed

a cron looks every other minute if there is a reminder to execute, if yes, it handles the saved data to the FranzAI / ChatGPT logic when then triggers an email send

There is a lot of things possible.

in the pro version i will enable email forwards and repeating reminders i.e: write my team members - which you have in your memory - every every thursday after lunch a short email asking them about the open tasks for this week (that you also have in your memory). collect their feedback, update the tasks and report back to me.

i do not say why this should not be possible? i would properly need some kind of "stufftodoid" that puts every email response we get back into the context of this written email.

about calendar integration, i really really hate google apis and their verification process, also everybody is doing integrations. I am more into what can we do with the medium email and chatgpt (with a sense of time and memory)
