Intelligent Automation

This is a submission for the Nylas Challenge: AI Expedition.

What I Built and Why

I created an intelligent automation tool for managing emails and events, utilizing the Nylas API to provide context-aware interactions. The application allows users to select specific contexts (e.g., emails from the current week or upcoming events) and then engage with an AI model to generate insights and summaries. This tool aims to enhance productivity by offering a seamless way to query and analyze email and calendar data through dynamic AI-driven responses.

The motivation behind this project was to streamline email and event management by integrating advanced AI capabilities, making it easier for users to get actionable insights and summaries from their data. The ability to interact with an AI model in a context-aware manner enhances user experience and provides a more intuitive way to manage information.The integration of the LLaMA 3 model ensures that users receive accurate and relevant information based on their selected context.

Your Journey

Leveraging the Nylas API was central to this project. By using endpoints such as emails-current-week, emails-recent, emails-recent-unread, emails-drafts-recent, events-today, events-current-week, and events-current-month, we were able to pull relevant email and event data in real-time. This integration allowed us to build a system where users can select a context and interact with an AI model to generate precise answers and summaries.

Throughout the development, we learned how to effectively integrate Nylas’ APIs to manage and process large volumes of email and event data. We optimized data handling to ensure real-time responses and enhanced the AI’s ability to generate meaningful insights based on the context.

We are most proud of the seamless user experience we created. The ability to dynamically interact with the AI based on real-time data from the Nylas API offers a powerful tool for users to efficiently manage and gain insights from their emails and calendar events.
