notes on using an LLM for personal email search
Nelson Minar asked Mastodon about using an LLM for email search over "20+ years of email archives":
"Main use would be a query for specific things, "what did I say to this friend 10 years ago about music?" But also just for general knowledge. I think it'd mostly work as free text but there's a little email-specific structure it'd be nice to capture."
The thread has some good suggestions, notably Mark Fletcher's RAG suggestion. I'm thinking this could work well as a self-hosted ollama+notmuch setup...
