AI-Powered Email Digest Generator

Overview

The Email Digest Generator is a Python-based tool designed to simplify email management. It connects to your email inbox, retrieves recent messages, summarizes their content using AI, and generates a concise daily report. The generated digest is saved as a text file for easy reference.

Features

• Email Fetching: Connects securely to your email inbox using IMAP.
• Content Extraction: Processes emails to extract plain text content, even from multipart messages.
• AI Summarization: Summarizes email content using the open-source Flan-T5 model.
• Daily Digest Creation: Combines email subjects and summaries into a structured report.
• File Saving: Saves the digest as a text file for offline access.

How It Works

1. Fetch Emails: Retrieves recent emails from your inbox.
2. Extract Content: Extracts and processes plain text from emails.
3. Summarize with AI: Uses Flan-T5 to generate concise summaries.
4. Generate a Digest: Combines summaries into a formatted report.
5. Save to File: Stores the digest as a text file.
