A Windows + Outlook Classic automation tool for turning repetitive email work into reliable workflows. Use configurable jobs and optional LLM plugins to classify, route, summarize, and structure email processing.

Warning: AI reads your emails. Make sure emails processed by AI do not contain personal privacy data or business confidential information, or use a local model for processing.

Users are responsible for risk assessment and compliance with organizational policies and applicable laws.
- Standardize Outlook processing with repeatable job-based workflows.
- Go beyond classification: move folders, create appointments, export JSON/CSV/Excel.
- Keep deployment flexible: OpenAI-compatible APIs or local models (Ollama, llama.cpp).
- Friendly for non-developers: initialize and edit configs directly in the TUI.
- Operations and assistants: triage meeting requests, alerts, and routine inbox traffic.
- PMs and sales: convert email streams into trackable events and summaries.
- Engineering and support: auto-tag and prioritize incoming threads.
