Install

npm client + frozen sidecar · 31.1 MB
npm i @amd-gaia/agent-email

Ships as an npm client plus a frozen binary sidecar — npm is its only supported install path (there is no PyPI wheel). A local model must be running first: gaia init then lemonade-server serve.

About Email Triage

@amd-gaia/agent-email

npm version

Sorts your Gmail or Outlook inbox into urgent / needs-reply / FYI, pulls out action items, and drafts replies — all running locally on your machine, so no email content ever leaves it.

You embed it in a JavaScript or TypeScript app. Every email is analyzed on-device by a local AI model (via AMD's Lemonade runtime); message content is never sent to a cloud service, and that's enforced when the agent starts up.

Using an AI coding assistant? This package ships a SKILL.md — load it into Claude Code (or similar) for a copy-paste integration playbook.

What it can do

  • Triage — sort each message into urgent, needs-reply, FYI, promotional, or personal; summarize a thread; and extract the action items and any phishing or spam signals.
  • Organize — archive, label, and move messages, one at a time or in batches.
  • Reply & send — draft context-aware replies (optionally in your own writing style, learned locally from your Sent mail) and send them — with attachments. Anything that leaves your mailbox asks for confirmation first.
  • Calendar — spot meeting requests, flag conflicts, RSVP, and create events from an email.
  • Track follow-ups — flag replies you're still waiting on past a window you choose (it points them out; it never nudges anyone for you).
  • Daily briefing — generate a morning inbox summary on a schedule, no prompt needed.
  • Plain-language requests — describe what you want done ("find today's urgent mail and archive the promotions") and the agent chains the steps itself, streaming progress; runs are cancellable mid-way.

Prerequisites

A local AI model has to be running before triage or drafting works:

  1. Install and start it with gaia init (downloads the default model) and lemonade-server serve.
  2. On a fresh machine the agent still starts, but triage won't return results until that local model is up. Call client.init() to check readiness.

You'll need about 8 GB of RAM for the default model, and one of: Windows x64, Linux x64, or macOS Apple Silicon.

Install

npm install @amd-gaia/agent-email
Behind a corporate proxy? If install fails with UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT, reinstall with NODE_OPTIONS=--use-system-ca npm install (Node ≥ 22).

Quick start

Triage one email — get back a category and a summary:

import { fetchBinary, startSidecar, shutdown } from "@amd-gaia/agent-email";

// Once, at build time: download and verify the agent for your platform.
const { binaryPath } = await fetchBinary({ outDir: "resources" });

// At startup: launch the local agent and hold onto the handle.
const sidecar = await startSidecar({ binaryPath, port: 8131 });

const res = await sidecar.client.triage({
  payload: {
    kind: "single",
    principal: { email: "me@example.com" },
    message: {
      message_id: "m1",
      from: { name: "Sarah Chen", email: "sarah@example.com" },
      subject: "Prod incident follow-up",
      body: "Please review the report and reply by Friday.",
    },
  },
});

console.log(res.result.category, res.result.summary);
// e.g. "NEEDS_RESPONSE  Sarah asks you to review the report and reply by Friday."

await shutdown(sidecar);

Triage classifies and drafts using only the local model — no mailbox connection needed. Reading or acting on a live inbox (search, send, archive, calendar) uses the Google or Microsoft connector you set up in GAIA under Settings → Connectors.

Want to try it without writing code? Run npx @amd-gaia/agent-email playground for a local page to test triage, drafting, and a live send.

How it works

Three pieces, all on your own machine — no cloud, no separate GAIA install:

  • Your app launches the agent and owns its lifetime.
  • The agent is a single self-contained program (~30–45 MB, no Python) that serves a small local API.
  • The local model does the actual thinking; the agent talks to it over your machine's local network only.

Full architecture, the complete API, authentication, and every endpoint are in SPEC.md.

How good is the triage?

Scores 83.4 / 100 on a labeled benchmark inbox — see the Scorecard tab (or SCORECARD.md) for the full breakdown, and the Evaluation tab for how it's measured.
