Inspiration

Going through emails one by one is frustrating and time-consuming. A quick one-liner summary for each email could save time and make the process much smoother.

What it Does

Summarizes emails, drafts replies, and composes emails using prompts—streamlining email management.

How We Built It

Leveraged Chrome's inbuilt Prompt and Summarization APIs to process emails efficiently.

Challenges We Faced

Tracking emails and loading them into models repeatedly was inefficient. We implemented email hashing and cached summaries in local storage, reducing redundant processing.

Accomplishments

Built this in under 24 hours! Excited to refine the tool and make it even more useful for myself and others.

What We Learned

Building Chrome extensions Integrating AI models into extensions Optimizing performance through caching and efficient data storage

What's Next for Gmail Assistant

Prioritize emails based on importance Extract actionable items Build to-do lists from emails Summarize selected text, rephrase content Add deadline tracking, intent-based language conversion, and smart calculators while composing emails.
