Inbox Referee
Reads a Gmail thread, scores its tone from 0 to 100, and suggests a reply strategy.
In one sentence
Reads a Gmail thread, scores its tone from 0 to 100, and suggests a reply strategy.
The problem
Client threads escalate slowly. By the time a message reads as hostile, three earlier ones already drifted and nobody noticed.
Why I built it
I run three businesses out of one inbox. A tone signal before I reply is worth more than a draft written for me.
Who it is for
Anyone handling client or support email where the relationship matters more than the reply speed.
Current status
Built and in use by me, but no public install or demo link has been verified.
Screenshots
Screenshots pending — real captures only, never mocked.
Technology
- TypeScript
- Chrome MV3
- Gmail DOM
- BYOK LLM
Role
Sole developer.
What I learned
Scoring tone is the easy half. Presenting it without making the user feel judged is the hard half, and it is a design problem rather than a model problem.
Public links
There is no public link for this project yet. It is not on a store, there is no hosted demo, and the repository is private — which is exactly why it is labelled a prototype rather than live.
