jevMail
Google Apps Script Gmail classifier that applies your own plain-English labels with Jev and archives only high-confidence unwanted mail.
Overview
jevMail (ilyamk) turns a Gmail inbox into a small set of labels that match how you work. You define up to 12 labels with criteria written in plain English, and Jev classifies each message's meaning and intent against them rather than relying on sender or keyword filters. It runs as a Google Apps Script project in your own Google account, with no jevMail-operated backend.
Classification is confidence-aware: message metadata is evaluated first, and ambiguous or archive-sensitive messages can get a second review using the message content. Automation is staged, from preview mode to labelling without archiving to archiving only explicitly eligible categories when confidence is high. A run budget is checked before each request, and the UI shows cost, progress, errors and, for recent messages, the label, confidence, decision source and resulting action. Processed messages are marked so later runs skip them. It also supports OpenRouter as a route to the model.

| Type | Question | Answers |
|---|---|---|
| Choice | Which of your custom labels fits this email? | — |
| Yes / no | Should this message be archived (high-confidence unwanted mail in an eligible category)?(inferred) | — |
