<p dir="auto">Thanks for the question - yeah, running in MM and I’m enjoying it. I attached a link to a screenshot of your summarized email so you can see what the result looks like...</p>
<p dir="auto">This is a migration of a capability that I have used with NeoMutt for a while - jam the e-mail body into OpenAI and get a summarized response. I use it A LOT - frankly, it's used on almost all my e-mails - unless from my wife ;) (Well, mostly!)</p>
<p dir="auto">I created the OpenAI capability because it's a <strong>WHOLE LOT CHEAPER</strong> to purchase $20 (US) of OpenAI credits instead of paying a monthly, recurring $20 where I have to copy/paste to do the same thing. I also use a similar command line function to call OpenAI functions: Emulating ChatGPT for text queries. You can make a <strong>LOT</strong> of calls for very little $. You can ALSO change the OpenAI <strong>Model</strong> to suit your preference.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'd probably have to do a significant write up on all the technical requirements since I was initially thinking this would appeal to existing OpenAI API users.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'd prefer to create a set of docs for each of these steps in a repository of some sort; I'd be curious if this will reach the quality level to become part of the MM options. I think the documentation should/would be appropriate as part of the bundle distribution.</p>

<p dir="auto">Sounds interesting. I’ll give it a go if there’s a chance of success. I take it you have this running in MM and summarizing the email messages. Are you satisfied with the result?</p>
<p dir="auto">Please explain a bit more about the install and key parts for someone who hasn’t used Open AI installation for novices like me, using Homebrew in Terminal or a link to the process as it relates to MM - Homebrew, API references, calls, variables to add, etc.</p>

<h1>Help with a Bundle</h1>
<p dir="auto">MailMate fans...<br>
I have created a bundle, yes, my very first one...</p>
<h2>Purpose</h2>
<p dir="auto">This bundle allows you to use your personal OpenAPI API KEY to summarize the body of an e-mail.</p>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<h3>Homebrew</h3>
<p dir="auto">You need to install 2 packages:</p>
<ul>
<li>w3m</li>
<li>zenity</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">brew install w3m zenity</code></p>
<h3>Environment Variables</h3>
<ul>
<li>You need to create a <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">.openai</code> in your home directory</li>
<li>Add 2 variables:</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-proj-<YOUR KEY HERE>m4A”</code><br>
<code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">export OPENAI_MODEL="gpt-4o"</code></p>
<h2>I was wondering a few things:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Is there a way to host on the MailMate bundle site and allow updates/fixes?</li>
<li>Is there a process to submit this as a MailMate bundle and get on the "Bundles List for 'others'"? (Not that I'm arrogant enough to suggest it at this point :) )</li>
</ul>
