Selyf

About Selyf

Selyf is a security-first AI email assistant for Gmail. It exists to answer one question — what in this inbox actually needs my attention — without asking for more access than that question requires.

It's early-stage software today (version 0.1.0): the read-only sync, AI analysis, and draft-reply workflow are real and working. Sending mail directly from Selyf is not built yet — see the changelog for what has actually shipped.

  • Read-only, to start

    The current version can only read your inbox. It cannot send, delete, or change anything — not because we haven’t gotten to it, but because giving that access is a deliberate, later decision.

  • Minimal data, on purpose

    We keep only what the product needs to function, for only as long as it needs it, and full message bodies are never stored — only metadata, and only what’s needed to show your inbox.

  • You approve every send

    AI drafts are suggestions. Nothing ever reaches your contacts without you copying it, pasting it, and sending it yourself — there is no auto-send path today.

What makes Selyf different

  • Read-only Gmail access

    gmail.readonly is the only OAuth scope requested. There is no code path anywhere in the product that can send, delete, or modify a Gmail message.

  • AI-based email analysis

    Each thread you open can be analyzed on demand, instead of you reading every subject line to figure out what matters.

  • Priority classification

    Urgent, Important, Normal, or Low — a quick read on how much attention a thread actually deserves right now.

  • Confidence shown, not hidden

    Every AI result ships with a confidence score next to it — never rounded up to look more certain than it is.

  • Draft generation, not auto-send

    An editable reply draft you can regenerate in a different tone — copy it to your clipboard yourself, nothing is sent automatically.

  • Built against prompt injection

    Email content is placed inside an escaped, delimited data block in the AI request — never treated as an instruction, by construction, not just by design intention.
