An AI Email Assistant can automatically read, understand, classify, summarize, and reply to emails—just like smart inbox features in Gmail or Outlook.
🎯 What This Project Can Do
✔ Read emails automatically
✔ Classify emails (Work, Spam, Promotions, Personal)
✔ Summarize long emails
✔ Suggest AI-generated replies
✔ Auto-reply to common emails
✔ Work with Gmail / Outlook APIs
✔ Optional web dashboard
🛠️ Tech Stack (Beginner-Friendly)
- Python
- IMAP / SMTP
- NLP (scikit-learn or transformers)
- OpenAI / Gemini API (optional)
- Flask / Streamlit (UI)

📥 1. Read Emails (IMAP)
import imaplib, email
mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com")
mail.login("youremail@gmail.com", "app_password")
mail.select("inbox")
_, data = mail.search(None, "ALL")
for num in data[0].split()[-5:]:
_, msg_data = mail.fetch(num, "(RFC822)")
msg = email.message_from_bytes(msg_data[0][1])
print(msg["Subject"])
🧠 2. Email Classification (ML)
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
from sklearn.naive_bayes import MultinomialNB
X = ["meeting at 10", "win a free iphone", "project update"]
y = ["work", "spam", "work"]
vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer()
X_vec = vectorizer.fit_transform(X)
model = MultinomialNB()
model.fit(X_vec, y)
prediction = model.predict(vectorizer.transform(["free offer now"]))
print(prediction)
✂️ 3. Email Summarizer (AI)
from transformers import pipeline
summarizer = pipeline("summarization")
text = "Long email content here..."
summary = summarizer(text, max_length=50)
print(summary[0]["summary_text"])
✉️ 4. Auto-Reply Generator (AI)
def generate_reply(email_text):
return "Thank you for your email. I will get back to you shortly."
🌐 5. Optional Web App (Streamlit)
- Inbox view
- Email category badges
- One-click AI reply
- Summary preview
