嗨，HN，我一直在解决一个困扰我很久的问题。坦白说，即使在今天，我们的电子邮件仍然是无序、杂乱且令人疲惫的，这真是令人惊讶。即使是今天的“现代”客户端，也只是把我们的电子邮件放在一个表格里，支持一些键盘快捷键，一些简单的功能，然后就完了。较新的客户端提供基于 AI 的撰写辅助功能，而最新的客户端现在希望我们为所有事情都进行提示！这似乎是倒退。等你输入“找到那个营销机构上周二的最新发票”时，你花费的时间和精力就已经超过了你本应需要的。仍然*没有高阶分类，没有更深层次的分组*。每封电子邮件——项目更新、交易、人类消息；看起来都一样。关键附件在需要时总是难以找到。 *琐碎的自动更新让我们不堪重负*，而且*冗长的转发线程仍然难以追踪，因为它们的链接方式杂乱无章*。我相信我不是唯一一个觉得这很烦人的人！所以我构建了 Faraday，最终彻底解决电子邮件问题。它在每封电子邮件到达用户之前，就对其使用分类和提取流程。 *没有提示，没有触发器。* 它会自动执行 3 件事： *1. 高阶分类：* 这是一条 LinkedIn 更新、一笔交易、一次人际对话、一个 OTP 还是一个预订确认？不仅仅是“主要 vs 推广”——真正的语义分类，有大约 30 个不同的类别和子组。然后，子类别会根据最适合它们的方式进行排序。谁会关心上周 40 份新闻通讯中的时间顺序。它们之间的类型和品牌更重要。 *2. 上下文提取：* 大多数电子邮件中的相关内容大约只占总文本的 12%。它会提取这些内容（金额、日期、姓名、操作、代码——针对不同的电子邮件类型不同），并将其显示在顶部，这样你就可以直接获得重点内容。 *3. 线程重建：* 电子邮件线程只是糟糕的嵌套引用。 Faraday 将它们重建并重新组装成一个干净、有序的对话树。这一个真的很棒。在这里做很多事情都很困难。在我们的电子邮件内容范围内同时运行所有这三个层，以收件箱的速度，以最佳的资源利用率，而无需来自用户的任何训练信号。无需设置或入职。登录后即可使用。构建起来非常棘手。与此同时，还确保了*它以隐私为先*，从一开始就加倍采用了最佳的安全和加密标准（AES 256）。 Faraday 中确实有一些巧妙的技术创新（足以申请 2 项专利）：它适用于所有 Gmail 和 Outlook 帐户。它已上线，通过合规性审核，已退出 Beta 版，并且很多人（之前沉迷于 superhuman、spark）现在都在使用它 :) 很乐意深入探讨你感兴趣的任何架构部分。请试用：<a href="https://faraday.email" rel="nofollow">https://faraday.email</a>（2 周免费试用，之后便宜很多）

Hey HN, I've been working on a problem that had me annoyed since a long while. The fact that our email continues to be unorganized, cluttered, and fatiguing even today, is quite surprising tbh. Even the "modern" clients today simply put our emails in a table, support a few keyboard shortcuts, a few simple features, and are done. The newer ones provide AI-based compose assist, and the newest ones now want us to prompt for everything! That seems backwards. By the time you'll type "find that marketing agency's latest invoice from last Tuesday," you would've already spent more time and effort than you should've needed to.There is still *no higher order classification, no deeper grouping*. Every email — a project update, a transaction, a human message; appears the same. Key attachments are always elusive when needed. *Trivial auto-updates crowd us*, and *long forwarded threads are still painful to follow with the untidy nature of their chaining.*I'm sure I am not the only one who found this irritating!So I built Faraday to finally solve email for good. It uses a classification and extraction pipeline on every incoming email before it has even arrived for the user. *No prompts, no triggers.* It does 3 things automatically:*1. Higher-order classification:* Is this a Linkedin update, a transaction, a human conversation, an OTP, a booking confirmation? Not just "primary vs promotions" — actual semantic classification with ~30 distinct categories and sub-groups. And then the sub-categories are ordered basis what's best for them. Who cares about the chronology within 40 newsletters from last week. The genres and the brands across them are more important.*2. Contextual extraction:* Relevant content in most emails is roughly just 12% of the total text. It extracts that (amounts, dates, names, actions, codes - different for different email types) and surface it at the top, so you get the meat upfront.*3. Thread reconstruction: *Email threads are just terribly nested blockquotes. Faraday reconstructs and reassembles them into a clean, ordered conversation tree. This one is really quite slick.A bunch of things were difficult to do here. Making all three layers work simultaneously across the spread of our email content, at inbox speeds, with optimum resource utilization, without a single training signal from the user. No setup or onboarding. To work as soon as you login. Super tricky to build.Meanwhile, also ensured that *it is privacy-first*, doubling down on the best possible security and encryption standards (AES 256) right from the onset.There are genuinely some nifty technical innovations in Faraday (enough to have even filed 2 patents for them:)It works on top of all Gmail and Outlook accounts. It's live, compliance-approved, out-of-beta and a lot of people (who were earlier hooked on superhuman, spark) are now using this :)Happy to go deep on any part of the architecture that you find interesting.
