  2. 2.Extract semantic context using OpenAI embeddings and store vectors in Qdrant database for similarity matching
  3. 3.Apply summarization chain to extract key information and intent from incoming messages
  4. 4.Execute AI agent to analyze email content and generate contextually appropriate auto-response suggestion
  5. 5.Display proposed response for user review, allowing manual approval or rejection
  6. 6.Send finalized response via Gmail or SMTP upon user confirmation

Use cases
