We built Echelon to tackle email overload by prioritizing, summarizing, and automating responses while keeping users in control. Using IBM Granite’s advanced reasoning, we generated context-aware replies and provided real-time voice feedback for draft approval.  

For information retrieval, we implemented RAG through ChromaDB, allowing our system to pull relevant past conversations and user-specific context for more accurate responses. Echelon automatically filtered spam, handled multiple emails at once, and sent smart alerts for high-priority messages. Hands-free interaction made email management effortless, while live reasoning updates ensured precision.  

With seamless IMAP/SMTP integration, we designed Echelon to cut email management time and improve productivity without sacrificing personalization.

Echelon is an autonomous AI email assistant that sorts, prioritizes, and summarizes emails while handling low-priority replies.
