Inbox, Handled – Building Weava.ai, an AI Email Assistant

Weava.ai is a new kind of AI email assistant — not one that suggests drafts or filters spam — but one that actually thinks, replies, and organizes your inbox for you.

Inspired by real email burnout, the app introduces a calm, decision-free interface we call Inbox Zen View: 📥 To Read | ✅ Handled | 🚫 Ignored Each section is powered by AI and updated in real time.

🧠 Why Weava.ai? #

Because Gmail, Outlook, and iCloud all have “smart suggestions”… But no one actually handles the inbox for you. Weava does.

• It connects to all your email accounts
• Understands which emails are urgent, ignorable, or routine
• Replies automatically to known cases using your tone
• And sends you a daily digest of what it did (including updated calendars)

🔨 Phase 1 – Building the Brain #

This first development phase is all about the backend logic:

• Ingesting raw email content
• Running AI summarization + classification
• Drafting or auto-sending replies
• Storing all data for UI rendering

🔁 What AI Does in Phase 1 #

1. Reads the email body + metadata
2. Summarizes the content
3. Classifies it as:
   • To Read – human should read
   • Handled – AI replied/archived
   • Ignored – newsletters, spam, FYIs
4. Replies with context-aware, tone-matched text
5. Logs the reply + updates your calendar if needed

✨ Sample Prompt Used in Phase 1 #

You are an AI email assistant.
Your job is to:
1. Classify this email into one of: To Read, Handled, Ignored
2. Provide a one-line summary
3. Suggest a short, polite reply

Email Subject: "Following up on the proposal"
Email Body: "Hi! Just checking in to see if you had a chance to review the pitch I sent last week."

✨ Sample Output in Phase 1 #
