I'm running Gemma3-270M locally (MLX). I got a Python script that pulls down emails based on a whitelist and summarises them. The 270M model does a good job of this. This is running in a terminal. It means I barely look at my email during the day.

Any willingness to share this script? I've been working on some code to ingest things and summarize for them and I haven't gotten to email just yet.
Watch this space. It’s pretty scrappy code and needs a cleanup. It also does other random stuff relating to calendar entries that I want to be reminded to appropriately prepare for.

But yes I’ll share, and I guess post an update in this thread?

I’d suggest the simple approach: run that script through Claude and have it extract just the email processing parts to create a clean CLI tool. This seems like exactly the type of refactoring task that LLMs are really good at.
Okay will do. Yeah, I just finished my calendar reading code. I haven't prepared the data for my LLM ingestion yet. Sounds great, I'll refresh this thread in a few days
