Dev builds his own Gmail AI reply agent that learns from every correction
Al_Grigor · x · 2026-10-09
Developer Al Grigor shared a self-built Gmail AI reply assistant he claims beats Google's built-in version.
The agent has just two core tools: save memory and search memory. Every time he corrects a generated reply, the correction is stored; the next similar email is drafted using those remembered preferences, so it improves with use.
Under the hood it uses Actian's VectorAI DB for storing and searching memories. He says setup is simple, published examples in a repo, and recommends it for anyone adding memory to their agents.
