An inbox with only emails you actually want

Email Ferret is an AI email assistant that works 24/7 to detect spam and AI-generated cold outreach in your Gmail inbox. It uses advanced heuristic analysis to identify behavioral patterns that indicate automated sales pitches, going beyond what traditional spam filters can detect. Emails are automatically labeled in Gmail, and legitimate emails are intelligently categorized into folders.

Gmail's spam filter catches traditional spam (phishing, malware, obvious junk mail), but it misses sophisticated AI-generated cold outreach. These emails look legitimate—they're well-written, use proper authentication, and come from domains with good reputation. Email Ferret uses heuristic analysis to identify behavioral patterns that indicate AI-generated sales pitches, catching what traditional filters miss.

By default, Email Ferret only labels emails—it does not delete them. You can configure whether flagged emails are archived or kept in your inbox. All actions are reversible, and you maintain full control over your emails.

No. Your email content is analyzed in real-time and immediately discarded. We only store email subject lines and IDs (encrypted) to enable the user interface for whitelisting senders and providing feedback. We never sell, share, or monetize your email data. All stored information is encrypted using AES-256-GCM and isolated per user with Row-Level Security.

Email Ferret analyzes high-level patterns including sender reputation and domain age, reply likelihood indicators, authentication signals (SPF/DKIM/DMARC presence), and outreach-style markers. We keep the exact algorithm proprietary for security, but you can see why each email was flagged with transparent scoring.

Setting up Email Ferret is simple: 1) Sign up for a free account, 2) Connect your Gmail account using secure OAuth (no password required), 3) Configure your spam threshold and preferences, 4) Start receiving automatic spam detection and folder organization. The entire process takes less than 2 minutes.

If a legitimate email is flagged, you can easily add the sender to your allowlist from the message details page or directly from any message. This prevents future false positives from that sender. Email Ferret learns from your corrections and continuously improves its accuracy.

Email Ferret offers a 14-day free trial with full access to all features—no credit card required to start! Simply sign up and connect your Gmail account.

Yes! Email Ferret works with both personal Gmail accounts and Google Workspace (G Suite) accounts. The OAuth connection process is the same for both account types. Each Gmail account you connect is billed separately at $5 per mailbox per month.

Email Ferret uses AI to automatically categorize legitimate emails (those that pass the spam check) into custom folders like Important, Calendar, Updates, Recruiting, Billing, and more. This helps you find what you need instantly without cluttering your inbox. Messages are automatically archived after categorization (except the Important folder).
