SI 568 project documentation
Charles Song
The overwhelming amount of emails is one of the main sources of stress for many students in the university. While some emails contain important notifications and interesting events, others are less significant. It can be time-consuming for students to open each email individually, but students also do not want to miss important information. The purpose of this project is to build an application that utilizes the ChatGPT API to manage inbox emails efficiently. The application will read the email in the gmail inbox using Gmail API, then categorize them into different categories: To-dos, events, notifications, and others.
Please refer to Using OAuth 2.0 to Access Google APIs | Authorization for how to get a Gmail OAuth 2.0 API.
You can follow this guide to run a sample to test Gmail API is successfully implemented: Python quickstart | Gmail | Google Developers. If you run the sample, there should be a “token.json” file generated, put the AI_Email_Manager.py in the same directory.
In the function get_emails,
change max_results to how many emails you want the AI email manager to read.
Note: Don’t put a big number, or it will be out of the ChatGPT capacity.
Run the code. If successful, you should get a “Success” prompt and a file “email debrief.txt” will be generated. Read the debrief, now we have a debrief of our inbox emails!
