Email Summarizer!!

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 3: Slow and Steady

So the theme is about being slow steady and lazy.... that reminded me about the emails that I had not read or gone through for the last 2 days....
and voila there was the idea!!

I made an email summarizer, which reads your emails and summarizes them into 3 Buckets (Smart Triaging):
🚨 Urgent & Action Required: Emails with explicit deadlines, direct questions, or client/manager requests.
ℹ️ FYI / Read Later: Non-critical updates, summaries, and shipping alerts.
🗑️ Noise / Clutter: Newsletters and marketing promos marked for bulk archiving.

Right now, it only works on my email addresses, as I have used Google Cloud Console to call the Gmail API, to read messages, which only allows specific email addresses to be read....

In version 2 of this website, I will add the option for the API to read and accept any email addresses, thereby fully completing this project...

Why Does Open Innovation Matter?

Build cool useful stuff for the world !!
Make real changes without the needing the resources of a large corporation
Developing a passion and hobby for solving problems :)

The Lazy Payoff

It is basically for people who don't check there emails regularly (me) and want a fast way to go through their emails...
Saves a lot of time and energy and does not require you to spend minutes scrolling through boring emails daily...

So all in all, the daily saved time adds up (imagine how much time you could save in a year! :)
Well, that's the gist of it...
See ya
