This workflow automates email handling by reading incoming messages, summarizing their content, generating professional AI-powered responses, and sending them only after approval. It integrates IMAP email triggers, OpenAI/DeepSeek LLMs, and Qdrant vector database for retrieval-augmented responses.

Before finalizing, a draft is sent to Gmail for manual approval (YES/NO). If approved, the reply is automatically delivered to the sender. Perfect for businesses that want to save time on email replies while keeping human oversight in the loop.
