Inbox AI

Inbox AI - Voice Driven AI Automation for your Mac is a local, on-device AI automation assistant that lets you have conversations with AI, automate tasks, process emails, and capture information using voice. It supports building custom voice assistants and voice commands that can perform actions across your apps and data, with optional on-device processing via Ollama and the ability to bring your own API keys. The tool emphasizes privacy, on-device operation, and seamless integration with macOS apps like Apple Mail, Reminders, and the clipboard, while also offering cloud-assisted capabilities for more power when desired. It includes comprehensive help resources via a Slack community and a manual.

How to Use Inbox AI

1. Install and setup. Install the app, connect your preferred accounts, and decide whether to run locally with Ollama or use online capabilities.
2. Create voice commands or intents. Build custom voice assistants or specific commands such as "Reply to this Slack message" or broader workflows.
3. Automate tasks and emails. Use rules to filter junk, extract tasks, draft emails, remember information, and trigger actions across apps.
4. Capture and process data. Use Quick Capture to select screen content, process with AI, and push results to your apps.
5. Integrations and triggers. Leverage Callback URLs, Shortcuts, and x-callback-urls to integrate with other tools and automate chains of actions.
6. Privacy and data handling. Choose between online capabilities for more power or fully on-device processing; your data policy is configurable.
