Inspiration

We wanted to build something useful with email because everyone deals with too many emails every day. The idea was to make handling emails easier without needing much effort. Also, we were interested in combining AI with real-world tools like Gmail.

What it does

Email Agent helps users manage their emails automatically. It can read emails, understand them, and take simple actions like summarizing, replying, or organizing messages. The goal is to reduce manual work and save time.

How we built it

We used a combination of backend and AI tools. The backend was built using Python (FastAPI), and we integrated Gmail APIs for accessing emails. For AI processing, we used local models and connected them through an agent system. We also used authentication tools to securely handle user data.

Challenges we ran into

One of the main challenges was handling authentication properly, especially with OAuth and token management. We also faced issues with connecting different components like the agent system and email services. Debugging real-time communication and API errors took a lot of time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We successfully built a working system that can read and process emails using AI. Integrating multiple systems like authentication, email APIs, and AI models was a big achievement for us. We also made the system run locally, which gives more control and flexibility.

What we learned

We learned how complex real-world integrations can be compared to simple projects. We gained experience in authentication systems, API handling, and connecting AI models with applications. We also improved our debugging and problem-solving skills.

What's next for Email Agent

We want to improve the accuracy of the AI responses and make the system faster. Adding more features like better automation, smart categorization, and user customization is planned. We also aim to make the UI more user-friendly and deploy it for real-world usage.
