I built a small Node.js CLI that watches for a Gmail label, grabs your draft reply, improves it using GPT API, and writes it back to Gmail.

No UI, no SaaS, no browser extensions. Just the Gmail API + OpenAI.

It’s under 200 lines and fully local except for the API calls.

Hey HN,

I'm a developer and I started 3 years ago, a simple app as a weekend project. But this project took on proportions that I did not expect in my life. If you’ve ever had a side project spiral out of control, you might enjoy reading about my journey. Would love to hear your stories too!

Cheers, Anthony
