The problem

A busy inbox buries the few emails that need a reply. Commercial inbox-zero tools need cloud access to the mailbox, which many companies' IT policies block.

What I built

I built a local email assistant that works through Outlook's COM object model, so it needs no Graph app or admin consent. Rules sort predictable mail, Claude classifies the rest, and a tray watcher drafts replies but never sends.

How it works

  1. YAML rules handle predictable mail first.
  2. Claude classifies the rest into categories, in batches.
  3. You review the planned actions, then apply them.
  4. A tray watcher drafts replies for mail that clearly needs one.
  5. A popup surfaces needs-reply mail waiting past 3 business hours.
How localzero is wiredNothing is ever sent automatically. AI runs on a Claude Code sign-in with no API key.
