AI Analysis

●●SolidSolve My ProblemShip It

Real-time email threat analysis with IMAP IDLE, but Gmail already filters most phishing.

Strengths
  • •Multi-stage enrichment pipeline (SPF/DKIM/DMARC/URLhaus/DNSBL/WHOIS) before AI inference — signals-driven decisions, not pure LLM.
  • •IMAP IDLE + wire-protocol action (keyword flags, folder moves) means zero Gmail API friction or auth complexity.
  • •Full audit log with AI reasoning per email — transparency and debugging without shipping blind.
Weaknesses
  • •Gmail's native spam filter already catches 99%+ of threats; unclear what this catches that Gmail misses.
  • •Requires self-hosting, systemd Linux, root access — friction vs. Gmail's zero-setup native filtering.
