🚀 What I Built

StoryMail turns your cluttered inbox into a smart, searchable, story-driven space.

It’s not just another email tool — it's your inbox therapist, cyber-scam bouncer, and personal narrator, rolled into one. Here's what it does:

• 🧠 Email Parsing & JSON Conversion
  
  Every incoming email is converted into a clean, structured JSON using a 3rd-party SaaS API. This makes it LLM-ready.

• 📚 Email Classification
  
  Each email is categorized into Productivity, Newsletter, Scam, or Office, helping you focus only on what matters.

• 💬 Chat with Your Inbox
  
  With Supermemory + an LLM, users can ask questions like:

  • “Did I receive any event invites this week?”
  • “Any suspicious messages?”
  • “Summarize my work-related emails in one paragraph”

• 📨 Weekly Digest With a Twist
  
  
  You’ll receive a personalized weekly email summary — not just a boring list, but an AI-written story about your inbox week.
  
  
  Yes, your email life becomes a story worth telling.

🧪 Challenges I Faced

✨ Final Thoughts

Emails are boring.

Inbox stories are not.

StoryMail doesn’t just tell you what’s in your inbox — it helps you understand it, act on it, and maybe even laugh a little along the way.

💡 "What if your inbox was smart enough to write you a newsletter… about your newsletters?"

That’s the heart of StoryMail.

Thanks for reading — and big kudos to Postmark for making email cool again!
