It automates the categorization of incoming emails into different buckets (e.g., work, personal, urgent) and highlights the most important ones for immediate attention. The tool leverages the Nylas API for email retrieval and integrates AI models from OpenAI and Google Gemini to categorize and prioritize emails.
