The Challenge
Filtering critical actionable messages from hundreds of daily emails without granting third-party AI platforms full read access to private inboxes.
Strategy & Vision
IMAP webhook ingestion via Hermes on VPS paired with local batch evaluation on Mac.
Design Approach
Strict categorization matrix feeding synthesized daily digests.
Engineering & Implementation
Hermes background listener streaming sanitized subject/body tokens to the local inference server.
The Outcome
Zero inbox anxiety with zero email text ever retained on remote servers.
Pipeline Flow
Hermes runs on the cloud VPS as an always-on IMAP listener. When new mail arrives, it relays sanitized subject and body tokens through n8n, which forwards them to the local Mac inference server over the encrypted bridge. DeepSeek evaluates each message against a strict categorization matrix, extracts tasks, and synthesizes a daily digest — all without retaining raw email text on any remote machine.
The result: zero inbox anxiety with absolute privacy.
