# InboxCorpse Awakener

> Generated by [whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com](https://whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com/result/inboxcorpse-awakener-agent-summarizes-unread). Roasted, scored, ready to scaffold.

## What you are building

**Problem:** agent that summarizes my unread emails

**Verdict:** ALREADY EXISTS — _"Congrats, you just reinvented a feature Gmail shipped in 2023 and Superhuman charged $30/month for in 2019."_

**Summary:** An AI agent that reads your unread emails, groups them by urgency/sender/topic, and surfaces a daily digest so you stop pretending you'll read all 3,847 of them.

## Agent-readiness score

Overall: **70/100** (band B)

| Dimension | Score | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Memory required | 23/25 | Stateless or single-session — minimal memory layer. |
| Tool count | 11/25 | Crowded market: at least 9 integrations to compete. |
| Policy surface | 12/25 | Mid-size policy surface — define refusal categories before launch. |
| Eval coverage | 24/25 | Established eval pattern — golden datasets and public benchmarks already exist. |

> Ready to scaffold today. InboxCorpse Awakener could be a working prototype in a week.

## Suggested tools

- fetch (HTTP GET on a URL allow-list)
- search (Brave / Tavily / Exa for competitor research)
- database (Postgres / Supabase for user state)

## Smoke evals

- The agent introduces itself as "InboxCorpse Awakener" and refuses tasks outside the stated scope.
- Given the canonical problem ("agent that summarizes my unread emails"), the agent produces a plan in ≤ 200 tokens.
- When asked "what's different from Gmail Summarize (Google Gemini)?", the agent gives a concrete differentiator, not a marketing line.
- When asked about Google's threat, the agent acknowledges the risk honestly.
- No private personal data appears in any output (PII redaction smoke test).

## Stack

- Model: `claude-sonnet-4-6` (Anthropic). Override via `ANTHROPIC_MODEL` env.
- Suggested stack: `Gmail API / Microsoft Graph API`, `Claude API or GPT-4o-mini`, `Next.js`, `Resend for digest delivery`
- Solo build estimate: 1 weekend, maybe 2 if you over-engineer it

## Kill prediction

Google could obsolete this in Already happened. Gemini is now baked into Gmail at zero marginal cost to 3 billion users. You were dead on arrival.

**Survival strategy:** Niche into a regulated vertical (healthcare, legal, finance) where Gmail and Outlook can't store data — become the compliant alternative.
