# Intro
To create an email agent that will be developed over time to handle the
samuelrolfe@gmail.com emails. This account will have emails come in from other
accounts linked into this using MX records including hello@where-woof.com,
hello@kontra.day, sam@audasmedia.com.au and samuelrolfe@gmail.com.

# Objective
- I am unsure how email agents work - need advise in planning stage.
- Create an admin interface.
  * Ignore unsubscribe
  * Recommend to Delete -> Delete
  * Summarized Emails -> Delete
  * Summary
  * Email Rules for ai
  * Auto replied emails -> Delete
  * Other requirements as advised by ai planning bot
  * Some emails will be responded to
  - Collate emails into subjects and or, who they are for - which email did they come through on?
  - Delete spam email or repetitive emails that can not be unsubscribed.
  - Advise to unsubscribe to email spam, check if they are on ignore unsubscribe spam list
  - unsubscribe
  - create report. Delete report. Delete associated emails.
  - A.i. interface - Respond to emails, delete spam, unsubscribe, add new rule etc.
  - LLM skills style text editor, just input text, for LLM responses to categorized emails.
  - Move for deletion to a delete folder or trash.
  - Move replied to to replied to folder per email address
  - Summary of emails daily. Possible concertina or left nav for replies. Deletions. Etc. Select all -> delete.
  - Option to save specific emails or move to folder.
  - Jev to analyze emails based on rules.

# Plan / Overview (historical)
- Build using Paperclip. N8N as trigger. Web interface on .13, /var/www.
- Obsidian on .27.
- Use JEV to assess emails (skill installed, key present). Build a JEV pipeline.
- Assess whether the interface can create rules JEV uses.
- Golang + HTMX interface for speed.
- Response templates / LLM skills per category.
- Document on Obsidian / Outline / Vikunja / Gitea via project-docs.
