Do you want a serious answer or are you just being flippant?

“AI” or as they were called for the longest time machine learning algorithms can do things like spell check and help with grammar.

The more modern algorithms that they started really calling AI can help format your ideas, can fix sentence structure, and can even translate into foreign languages

Email is probably the most useful place for AI as most of the ones we talk about today are really good at language formatting but don’t really have any intelligence

For example you can write an email cursing out your boss saying “as I fucking told you yesterday” and then ask the AI to rewrite your email in a professional tone so that it says “per my previous email” like sure you can obviously do that yourself but it’s a lot faster to word vomit your thoughts into a computer especially when it’s trivial work related garbage and save your mental energy for your personal time

I think I'd be pretty pleased with that actually, so long as it's on my local machine. That's because I often find myself wanting to locate a particular email that is along certain lines, or on a certain topic, or involves an organisation's name that kinda sounds similar to this one word but isn't actually that word or things like "the email where they mention they've had a kid" but I can't actually recall either what they called their child, or what gender they were, or when the email was received. Or actually, even better, in that last example "What's Dave's kid's name again?" and just getting a 1 word, correct response, with the ability to open the email it found where this was mentioned for additional context if I want it. Or things like "how long has it been since we moved out of that house?" and instead of finding the earliest email I can on the topic of moving house and reading emails to surmise when we discussed leaving and then finding which one might have mentioned that actual date we moved out, I could just get an answer, in English again hopefully with a link to the email or emails that provided the rationale for how the answer was arrived at.

Often in those simpler search situations I mentioned where I just need to find a specific email, keyword searches don't always cut it. I have an absolutely appalling memory so figuring out pertinent details to things happening now based on what was going on in my inbox at some point in the past are a very important way that I get by. If I could achieve this more easily by asking relatively vague, English language questions that will help direct search efforts that are being done for me would be really helpful. Sure, theoretically all existing means of filtering and searching email should eventually find me that message but they'd likely be more effort than just asking directly like you'd ask a person tasked with digging through a filing cabinet for you, and sometimes even after extensive filtering by all kinds of clues: date, senders, keywords, labels, subject lines, emails I remember around the same time that I can find; I just for whatever reason can NOT dig up that email only to discover it later when it's too late to be useful to me anymore and get to see what obscure reason it was none of my clever search methods caught it..

Eh. You might not, but the "normies" might. Expanding the userbase is always a good idea for open source projects.

I would love a daily digest if it was actually trustworthy.
