Gmail analyze

Gmail Inbox Analyzer

Analyze inbox patterns and suggest intelligent filter rules using Pareto analysis.

Prerequisites Check

First, verify gog CLI is authenticated:

gog auth status

If not authenticated, guide the user to run:

gog auth add [email protected]

Analysis Workflow

Step 1: Fetch Recent Emails

Fetch emails from the specified time period (default: 30 days):

gog gmail search 'newer_than:${DAYS}d' --json

Parse the JSON output to extract:

• from - Sender email
• subject - Email subject
• date - Received date
• labelIds - Applied labels

Step 2: Pattern Analysis

Analyze the fetched emails to identify:

1. Top Sender Domains (Pareto: focus on top 20%)

   • Group emails by sender domain
   • Count frequency per domain
   • Identify domains with 5+ emails

2. Sender Categories

   • Newsletters: substack, mailchimp, newsletter, digest
   • Notifications: github, gitlab, jira, slack, notion
   • Shopping: amazon, ebay, order, shipping
   • Social: facebook, twitter, linkedin

3. Volume Distribution

   • Total emails analyzed
   • Emails per day average
   • Peak sending times

Step 3: Generate Suggestions

For each high-volume pattern, suggest:

Domain	Count	Suggested Label	Filter Criteria	Confidence
substack.com	45	Newsletters	from:@substack.com	High
github.com	32	Notifications	from:@github.com	High

Step 4: Present Results

Output a formatted report:

## Inbox Analysis Report
