Gmail AI Agent: Automate Your Inbox with AI-Powered Telegram Commands

I too recently launched AI automations for Gmail. I am a heavy email user, so connecting chatgpt to my inbox was obvious to me. When gpt-4 was released it passed my tests with 90% accuracy, so I've decided to release it at inboxchat.ai
But while I enjoy AI sorting my emails, the most useful feature for meturned out to be screener, inspired by this post: https://blog.nawaz.org/posts/2018/Sep/solving-my-email-probl.... It sends all emails from first-time or unknown senders into a separate Review Later label. If email is moved to Inbox, then that sender becomes trusted and is allowed into Inbox in the future. It's simple, dumb feature but so effective
While I have hundreds of auto-label filters already setup, there's always constantly more activity to consider. So having label recommendations could save a lot of time. Or proposed new filters based on common obvious labeling activity already occurring in my inbox.
I noticed that some emails are valid for only some hours and then it's in inbox unnecessarily giving that +1 to unread badge.
On other hand server side filtering works before arriving in inbox so you don't see for example, that parcel will arrive today. Next day you need to manually archive it. After 10-20 mails like that, if you are busy - half of inbox needlessly needs user action if you are into inbox zero.
Interesting point - for the moment all actions are manually validated on this project but I might also add features to make the agent autonomous to some extent.
I try to make them as absolutely bulletproof as possible but I’m still running into problems because email is so rough.
Critical Microsoft emails for example constantly have random sketchy looking domains but are legit.
Or someone named “Don Otre Plyson” gets caught in the “DoNotReply” filter and I never see his important message.
I don’t know if I’d blindly trust AI to guess patterns better than me where I’d have no way of ever knowing if I potentially missed something.
I use and like SpamSieve for macOS but it's limited to spam/not spam. I would really like support for more categories than two.
if you think about it, Telegram seems like the one of the few mobile chat apps allowing easy bot integration.
ChatGPT's success comes with a chat based UI, every LLM AI agent these days had a hidden chat context somewhere. So choosing a chat app is pretty intuitive and straightforward.
I send about 50% of the drafts without editing, and I’m surprised by how much better at spam filtering it is than gmail.
Interested to try this out and compare.
Web version sounds great.
