Local LLM Filters Gmail for Priority Notifications
A developer creates a local LLM-powered system that filters Gmail messages and sends notifications only for important emails, reducing notification fatigue
Local LLM Email Screener Eliminates Missed Messages
A developer built a privacy-focused email notification system using local LLMs to avoid missing important messages.
GitHub Repository: Clone the project: https://github.com/IngeniousIdiocy/LocalLLMMailScreener
Technical Setup:
- Model: Qwen3 235B quantized to 8-bit
- Stack: Node.js server running locally
- Hardware: Mac Studio (high RAM requirement)
- Function: Screens Gmail, pushes filtered notifications to phone
Privacy Advantage: All email processing happens locally - no cloud APIs read personal messages.
Implementation Steps:
- Clone repository from GitHub URL above
- Configure Gmail API credentials
- Set custom screening prompts for priority detection
- Deploy on local machine with sufficient memory
The system caught a kids’ event cancellation that would have otherwise been missed. While cloud API costs are minimal, the privacy benefit of local processing justifies the approach for sensitive communications.
