# Odysseus Email Assistant **The Email Assistant turns [[Odysseus (AI)|Odysseus]] into an AI-augmented mail client over standard IMAP/SMTP, with triage, summaries, and reply drafts.** Your inbox, on your hardware, with an agent working it. What it handles: - **Triage and tags.** Auto-tagging sorts the inbox; spam filtering cuts the noise. - **Summaries.** AI-written summaries so you read the gist before the thread. - **Reply drafting.** Style-matched drafts that sound like you, ready to edit and send. - **Reminders.** Surfaces what needs a follow-up. The point is local control: because it speaks plain IMAP/SMTP and runs inside a self-hosted workspace, the mail and the model work can both stay private rather than routing through a third-party assistant. ## Related - [[Odysseus (AI)]] - [[Odysseus Cookbook]]
