Fyxer and Jace charge $30–50/month to "manage your inbox." I wanted to know what's actually under the hood.

Spoiler: it's prompt engineering + Gmail API + a thin wrapper+ some embedding for context . No magic. So I built the same thing properly and open-sourced it.

- Labels mails directly as they arrive in Gmail/Outlook UI. - Context window for draft and also calendar integration - Custom labels for your workflow

More integrations coming soon

Happy to share exactly what I found in their flows, ask anything.

I got tired of my inbox being noisy so I built a classifier instead of paying for yet another AI email app. The pipeline: PII redaction first, then embeddings matched against past labeled emails via vector search, Bayesian sender reputation on top of that, a cross-encoder for reranking, and an LLM fallback only when confidence is low. The fine-tuned model handles ~80% of cases before it ever hits the LLM. Biggest surprise — sender reputation scoring ended up mattering more than I expected. Who sends the email is often a stronger signal than what's in it. It's hooked into Gmail and Outlook. I've been using it daily for a few months and my triage time is basically zero now. Happy to talk about any part of the architecture if anyone's curious.
