Sorry for plugging in our product here but this comment seemed relevant. We are actually building something similar at mxgo[.]ai. Started exactly same way as you did, now working on a chrome extension with suggestions within inbox. Would love to connect and know your feedback.
Yeah, we've already gotten this feedback, working on it. We'll be making a chrome extension live soon, to simplify this and suggest what handles + instructions you can send to MXtoAI.
If you have a better experience in mind, let us know. If this goes well and users trust us enough, we might work on an automated inbox monitoring service to automatically run workflows for you.
We have common usecases documented here - https://docs.mxtoai.com/why-use-mxtoai. For founders, we're looking to simplify scheduling, background research, sales & marketing automations. This agent would become more powerful when we integrate day-to-day tools like Calendly, Asana, Zoom, Salesforce etc. We're currently evaluating going via MCP route vs direct integrations.
We're not getting OAuth for calendar apps at the moment. Common integrations like GCal, Calendly is something we're actively building. Goal for MVP was to make it as simple as possible to try out without taking lot of user accesses.
Current schedule@ will send you a direct link to add to your calendar along with a .ics attachment.
Thanks for the feedback. We'd be open sourcing it soon with managed version and maybe do another Show HN then.
We are not storing emails anywhere, only as transient tasks. It'd be clearer when source is open. Would love to know your usecases for making self-hosting better.
Co-founder here, will keep answering comments/questions for next few hours. We built this to be security and privacy first tool. We're aware of general feedback around improving experience wrt forwarding.
We're working on making this agent better everyday, open sourcing it soon. Would love to hear from power email users what kind of tasks this agent can help automate.
