Hi HN, yesterday I missed a meeting and spent most of the day sending ~35 emails. That kind of inbox + calendar admin has been draining my time for a long while, so I built LIAM to fix it.It helps with: - Drafting replies in your tone (honestly a bit scary how close it gets) - Scheduling meetings and handling the back and forth - Prioritising important threads and organising the inboxImportant: LIAM doesn’t send anything without approval.I’d love feedback on what you’d actually trust an email agent to do, and which email workflows you’d automate first.You are more than welcome to roast it.Try it here: https://doitliam.com (connect Gmail + Calendar, about 1 min)

Could you build this?

Partial While an AI email/calendar draft assistant is easy to prototype, achieving enterprise-grade reliability, CASA Tier 2 certification, and robust bidirectional sync across Google/Outlook APIs requires serious compliance and infrastructure work.

What it would actually take: A production version requires integrations with Gmail and Microsoft Graph APIs handling webhooks, rate limiting, and delta syncing at scale. The backend needs rigorous security controls, data isolation, and audit trails to achieve CASA Tier 2 and GDPR compliance. Furthermore, it demands fine-tuned stylistic few-shot prompting or local tone models alongside deterministic calendar conflict resolution.
