AI Triage is an add-on for Thunderbird. It reads the emails you select, tags them with your own Thunderbird tags, and writes a digest of what needs you, what can wait and what is just noise.

What it does
For the whole selection at once, or for one conversation. The AI suggests; you check every result before anything happens to your mail.
-
Triage
Tags every selected email and writes a digest: what needs you today, what can wait, what is worth reading, and a short count of the noise.
-
Tag emails
Only the tags, written into Thunderbird as each email is read, by your own description of when each tag fits.
-
Summarize a thread
Where a long conversation stands: what was decided, what is still open, and what you need to do.
-
Draft a reply
A reply in your own writing style, written straight into Thunderbird's compose window, for you to edit and send.
-
Sort by tag
Tag rules move, archive or delete the tagged emails in one go, once you have checked them. The last run can be undone.
Your mail stays yours
Run the AI on your own computer and no email ever leaves it. Use a cloud service only if you want to, with your own key. Before every job, AI Triage shows where the email text goes.
