ChatInbox rebuilds the inbox around people instead of time. Every customer, vendor or friend becomes one conversation: full history, every file, whose turn it is. That is CRM-grade context inside your mailbox, across Gmail, Outlook, iCloud and any IMAP account, with newsletters and receipts filed into Feeds automatically. Three years of iteration, native on Mac, iPhone and iPad. Apple Intelligence powers drafting, summaries and triage on-device, so your mail never leaves your devices.

Partial The contact-grouped inbox UI is buildable, but reliable multi-provider email sync and Google's restricted-scope verification for Gmail access are hard pieces that vibe coding alone will not handle.
What it would actually take: The stack would combine the Gmail API and Microsoft Graph with IMAP for iCloud and other accounts, a sync worker that indexes threads, and a contact-resolution layer for grouping. The hard parts are IMAP edge cases, incremental sync at scale, and passing Google's security assessment for restricted scopes, which takes time and money. Building it well requires backend and email-infrastructure experience.
