What they did
A house framer with 34 years on the job says he built an app in one afternoon with his Grok Bot assistant (another agent installed it on his home server). A local Qwen3 14B model sorts each new email into keep, junk or unsure; each morning he taps once to trash junk and unsubscribe from marketing mail.
How it went
A daily keep/junk/unsure list with one-tap cleanup, with mail processed locally.
Worth knowing
- Self-reported X post; the code isn't shared. You need a home server that can run a 14B model.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Help me build a small app on my home server that reads new Gmail messages, uses a local model to sort each into keep, junk or unsure, and shows me a phone-friendly list each morning with one tap to trash junk and one-click unsubscribe. Nothing should leave my network.
