Local personal agents are going to be a major app type, and this is a great example - thanks for sharing it!

They run locally on my computer with my full credentials and has access to everything. Once I'm past my trust issues, I'd use these a lot.

PS: Running them locally gives me the false sense of security because I feel like "I can unplug the AI". Maybe someone can explain the psychology behind this :)

disconnect internet and if it runs well then you get an even safer feeling. for this example though, it still needs internet access to read and write the emails but the model processing the contents can be local to your system.
