Gemini gives us AI Inbox, AI Overviews in GMail and other neat stuff like that. I feel like we’ve been trying variants of this for two years and they keep not doing what we want? The problem is that you need something good enough to trust to not miss anything, or it mostly doesn’t work. Also, as Peter Wildeford points out, we can do a more customizable version of this using Claude Code, which I intend to do, although 98%+ of GMail users are never going to consider doing that.
I’d say 98%+ of GMail users don’t know GMail has an API (I have been among those 98% till today (or, perhaps, I knew at some point and then forgot)). Once one knows that, the idea to create a customizable version emerges rather naturally.
One question is: do their terms of service allow people to make products in that space, or would this need to stay unofficial.
