Read the full description
WatchFox watches a mailbox and calls your app the moment it finds an enquiry, invoice, support request, purchase order, job application or claim, or any type you define. One API replaces IMAP polling, regex piles and a prompt per email. An open-weights model runs on your own GPU, so email text never goes to a closed AI API, and WatchFox keeps no copy: only the subject, sender and a short snippet. Signed webhooks, a connect page with your brand, free plan.
