An inbox your agent can process
Emails arrive as structured data. Your agent can summarize, sort, assign, archive, and reply. Attachments stay private, with useful summaries saved for later.
Incoming emails and calendar data are stored directly in your database. Connect ChatGPT or Claude through MCP to search, send, schedule, and automate with your data.

Features
Everything your agent needs to handle personal and shared inboxes, remember customer context, and manage real calendar work.
Emails arrive as structured data. Your agent can summarize, sort, assign, archive, and reply. Attachments stay private, with useful summaries saved for later.
No need to reread long threads. NoLook summarizes messages and attachments, and remembers the important context from every customer conversation.
Give office@, sales@, or support@ its own inbox, calendar, customer history, and rules. NoLook routes each message to the right person and makes handoffs easy.
Each address can have its own AI instructions for tone, summaries, sender research, routing, and replies. Routine work stays in the background. You only see what needs attention.
Create recurring events and change the whole series or a single date. Invitations work with Outlook and Google Calendar, including updates, cancellations, and RSVPs.
Your agent checks the invitation, your calendar, the people involved, and possible conflicts. It handles routine RSVPs and asks you when a real decision is needed.
Free and open source
NoLook is free and open source, and I intend to keep it that way. Self-host with Resend, Vercel Blob, and Convex; it takes configuration, never a license fee. Or try immediately with every service pre-configured for a small one-time fee.

Your $20 covers the services I've already set up and helps me keep building NoLook in the open.
Why I built NoLook
NoLook is an experiment in making the interface, architecture, and delivery process agent-first.
01 · The interface
I think software is moving beyond web, desktop, and mobile apps. AI chat is the first step: ask systems and agents for outcomes instead of operating every screen yourself.
02 · The architecture
Most software was built for humans. Adding an agent on top keeps the old interfaces, workflows, and constraints. To build for AI, we need to treat existing systems as examples of the outcomes we want—then throw them away and rebuild from scratch for agents.
03 · The build
On and off over a few weeks, I thought through the architecture, tools, and data model, collected my ideas, and turned them into a clear specification. GPT‑5.6 then wrote the entire NoLook application from it on one day.
04 · The deployment
I made the DNSimple, Resend, Vercel, and Convex CLIs available to GPT‑5.6. It registered and purchased the domain, configured the services, and deployed the system. I never opened a dashboard; I only verified the final result.
The bigger plan
I didn't want NoLook to inherit two huge enterprise suites, with all their weight, abstractions, and human-first workflows. Ever tried finding one email in either?
I believe these legacy systems will be replaced. Clone the best parts, then rebuild for agents first: clean APIs, MCP servers, CLIs, and docs an agent can read, configure, sign up for, and use on its own.
One requirement: the foundation must be open source.
What I'm cooking next
Spreadsheets, documents, slides, chat, and video communication need the same reset.
DuckDB + Parquet, or Arquero + Apache Arrow: CLI-first and scriptable for agents, with generated shadcn/ui + Recharts dashboards for humans.
Small React + shadcn/ui replacements for Word and PowerPoint, with CLIs and MCP interfaces for chat agents. Use live DuckDB data and charts, publish the result for coworkers or partners with ChatGPT Sites, or explore it as an ad-hoc interactive view in ChatGPT Visualizations. Add the View Transitions API for web-native slides.
Block's Buzz, from Jack Dorsey, is a promising open base for chat, video, and collaboration.
Together, these tools cover most of the office software used by modern organizations—without carrying the legacy suite with them.
Bring an MCP-capable AI chat. NoLook brings the email and calendar infrastructure.
