jev-mail

Read-only Chrome extension that badges each Gmail message with Jev's category, priority, spam % and reply %.

Browser extensionprototype

Overview

Jev Mail is a Chrome extension that scores messages in Gmail with TypeSafe's Jev model. Each message gets a category, a priority, a spam percentage and a reply percentage that estimates how much the message needs an answer from you.

There are two views. Inline badges on Gmail's thread list need only a Jev API key, because the overlay reads sender, subject and preview text from the page. A dashboard shows the whole inbox in a sortable, filterable, exportable table and needs a Gmail API OAuth client. Results are cached so scrolling back is free. The extension is read-only: it never sends, deletes, labels or archives anything, so the decision model only informs the user.

How it works

  1. Load the unpacked extension and paste a Jev API key
  2. The overlay reads sender, subject and preview line from Gmail
  3. Jev returns category, priority, spam and reply probabilities
  4. Badges are appended to rows and cached; the dashboard offers a full table

Strengths

  • Read-only, so no risk of wrong automated actions
  • Inline mode needs no OAuth client or Gmail API
  • Cached results avoid repeat calls

Caveats

  • Requires a TypeSafe API key
  • Dashboard needs a self-created Google OAuth client
  • Developer-mode extension, not a store release

Getting started

Load the folder via chrome://extensions in Developer mode, paste a key from console.typesafe.ai under Settings, press Test and Save, then open Gmail.

Frequently asked questions

What does Jev decide?

A category and priority for each email, plus probabilities that it is spam and that it needs a reply.

Does it change my mailbox?

No. It never sends, deletes, labels or archives anything.

Do I need Google Cloud setup?

Only for the dashboard; the inline badges need just a Jev API key.
