Inbox Zero is an open-source AI-powered email assistant designed to cut your email time in half by intelligently automating responses, organizing incoming mail, and helping you reach inbox zero quickly.

How Inbox Zero Works

1. Connect your Gmail or Google Workspace account (currently supported).
2. Configure your preferred workflow and automation rules using plain English guidance to your AI assistant.
3. Let Inbox Zero automatically draft replies, apply labels, archive or unsubscribe, and surface only the messages that truly require a response.
4. Use built-in analytics to understand inbox activity and identify actions to take.

Inbox Zero emphasizes privacy and open-source transparency: you can inspect the code, self-host the solution, and ensure your data isn’t used to train general AI models.
