I’m looking for a developer to build a private system that helps manage and process my Outlook email.
The system should analyze a large set of past emails, then monitor incoming emails and assist with summarizing them, drafting replies, and extracting tasks.
Tasks should be written automatically into a Google Sheets task tracker.
The goal is to reduce the time required to read, triage, respond to, and act on email.
⸻
Phase 1 Scope
The system should support the following:
1. Historical Email Processing
• Import approximately 6–12 months of Outlook email history
• Extract sender, subject, body, timestamp, thread context, and reply data
• Use this dataset to learn communication patterns and writing style
⸻
2. Email Classification
Automatically categorize incoming emails and determine:
• category or topic
• whether a response is required
• whether action is required
• priority level
• tone (neutral, frustrated, urgent, etc.)
⸻
3. Email Summaries
Generate digest summaries during the day (for example morning, midday, and evening).
Each entry should include:
• sender
• subject
• short summary (1–2 sentences)
• classification
• tone indicator
• whether response or action is required
⸻
4. Draft Responses
For emails requiring a response, generate draft replies based on:
• the email content
• patterns learned from historical emails
Drafts must be reviewed before sending.
⸻
5. Task Extraction
When emails contain actionable items, the system should create tasks automatically.
Tasks should be written to a Google Sheets task tracker.
⸻
6. Instruction-Based Actions
The system should also support instructions such as:
• draft an email to a specific person
• send a request for information
• create a task based on an instruction
⸻
Technical Requirements
Strong experience with:
• Microsoft Graph API (Outlook)
• email processing automation
• LLM-based text classification and summarization
• working with historical datasets
• Google Sheets API
• backend scripting (Python or similar)
⸻
Proposal Questions
Please answer these questions in your proposal.
1. How would you ingest and process a large Outlook email dataset (e.g., 10,000+ emails)?
2. How would you design the system that categorizes emails, generates summaries, and drafts replies?
3. How would tasks be extracted from emails and inserted into Google Sheets automatically?
Proposals that do not address these questions will not be considered.
