Email Inbox AI Assistant with Long-Term Memory

Triage and draft email replies with an AI that knows your communication style, active projects, and ongoing threads — persisted across every session.

Usage estimate

Each email processed: 2 memory reads (sender history + active project context) + 1 memory write (thread summary). 20 ops covers ~7 emails/day.

AI email drafters forget your context the moment you close the tab. This workflow gives your inbox assistant a persistent memory — your writing style, active projects, key contacts, and thread summaries — stored in retainr and retrieved automatically on each new email.

The assistant triages incoming email by priority, retrieves relevant thread history, drafts a reply in your voice, and optionally sends it (with your approval via a webhook confirmation step).

What's included: - Gmail / IMAP trigger (configurable) - Sender profile memory retrieval from retainr - Thread summarisation stored as memory after each reply - AI drafting node with style guide injection - Optional human-in-the-loop approval step before send
