About Akashi

Akashi is an AI-powered email service that enhances email security. In the future, it may also organize your inbox and act as a virtual assistant.

How It Works

Presently, Akashi works by sending basic information (sender and subject) about every email you receive to a large language model (LLM). In the Alpha version, Akashi uses ChatGPT 4o to process this information. In the future, we migrate Akashi to our own models. The AI determines if the email is suspicious (for example, a phishing attack, such as an 'ACCOUNT COMPROMISED' email from facebooksupport@gmail.com). The results of this determination are available from the web dashboard. You can instruct Akashi to label emails it determines to be suspicious as such and to email you a summary that tells you how it classified each of your emails on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. At present, Akashi is about as good as Google's spam filter at determining whether an email is suspicious or not. In the future, we plan to make the filtering mechanism more sophisticated. You will also be able to tell Akashi to filter or sort your emails based on different characteristics. Other features are planned, as well; we're just getting started!

Roadmap

We are still working on the initial launch of Akashi. Once the service is available, we will create a public-facing roadmap.

Features

Subscribing to Akashi allow you to enable its other features. From a technical standpoint, subscribing to the service sets up a notification service in the backend.

Enable Inbox Monitoring

Enabling inbox monitoring means that Akashi will monitor your inbox, classify any emails you receive, and display the results on the web dashboard. From a technical standpoint, enabling inbox monitoring sets up a Gmail watch on your inbox.

Suspicious Email Labeling

Enabling suspicious email labeling instructs Akashi to add a "Suspicious" label to any emails it classifies as such. You must be subscribed and have inbox monitoring enabled to use this service.

Summarization

Summarization sends you an email at a regular interval that provides you with information about what emails Akashi has classified in what way. You can choose to receive a summarization email every day, every week, every month, or not at all.
