Love it. One of the major challenges with email is that a lot of disparate content is mixed together.

I run a product called Inbox Zero (if you google the term we're the ones that come up first). I often suggest to users that they aim for "Reply Zero". They might get 100 emails per day, but only 5 need a reply. As long as those are handled they're probably good.

One of the challenges people face is that there's so much noise mixed together. Newsletter, conversations, receipts,... what you call "DBTC", and it's time consuming to sort it into buckets. And frankly, before AI it might not have been worth the effort. But with AI assistance, it's actually very doable. Inbox Zero offers it, as do a bunch of others. What you call DBTC could potentially be sorted for you into that folder automatically.

PS. not trying to shill our own product. It's open source so you can even self-host it without paying us anything.

Archive or read is what most people ask. Benefits to both approaches.

Archive instead of delete is what we recommend to Inbox Zero customers. As you won’t accidentally delete something important.

But if you really need to claim back that space our tool offers ways to delete the stuff that doesn’t matter.

Great post. I’m the founder of Inbox Zero. Open source ai email assistant.

It does a much better job of drafting emails than the Gemini version you shared. Works out your tone based off of past conversations.

May help you get half way there

right now, no. if i have a little more time next week i may enable it though. i run getinboxzero.com so it wouldn't be a tonne of work to add, but want to make sure it's done right

glad you like it :) would you use it for your own inbox though :)

I've been using https://getinboxzero.com and love it

I used this and got some incredible intros

Inbox Zero - https://getinboxzero.com - your ai personal assistant for email. Spend 50% less time on email.

Hey,

One good case study is Maybe Finance. It was a dead project. They open sourced it. And it went viral. And they raised $1.5m within another few weeks. The virality was on GitHub stars and Twitter.

I run a channel about open source that may give you ideas of what other COSS projects are doing: https://youtube.com/elie2222

My COSS is called Inbox Zero: https://getinboxzero.com.

Nice! Great work! I’ve been building https://getinboxzero.com. It’s open source

You can have open source and still charge for it. For example, getinboxzero.com or posthog.com or cal.com. Many others too.

Projects use different licenses for enterprise and regular features. Cal does that for example.

Novu doesn’t commit their enterprise features to their codebase. And they symlink those features in. Their project is all MIT because of this.

Really cool. Had a lot of people reach to me because of this.

Nice. I'm building getinboxzero.com to help with this!

Curious what people think of this. Seems like a huge difference. Much larger than I expected.

James is a real person that uses the app, and said those exact words. Sent over private message. So you won't find it online.

The image isn't his actual face. And @james isn't his real handle.

To fake this quote would be next level creative. That's not what a faked quote looks like.

You can also see when we deploy each time on GitHub: https://github.com/elie222/inbox-zero/deployments

I don't know. But easily 50%+ of people I've spoken to / surveyed use Gmail.

Yeah. Search isn't the issue. Even inbox zero people archive all their emails anyway. They don't delete them.

Inbox 20,000 makes sense for a lot of people btw. Depends on your work and how important being organised with your email is to you.

Many people just declare email bankruptcy and don't care.

If you are on a very high number of emails, you can just archive the last 19,800 and go from there. And then unsubscribe from a lot of your key email offenders.

Yes. There are already a few features it offers beyond the newsletter cleaner like the AI automation with more to come.

The overall goal of the app is to help manage email better. It could turn into a full fledged email app one day too.

You can use snooze to get to zero while waiting on things.
