@bettercallj0hn Congrats on the launch! Love your approach and fresh take on emails / conversations! Do you have a mobile app?

i've known talanoa since the very beginning, i was one of the early beta testers and it's been crazy to watch it grow from that first version to what's launching today honestly this kind of tool is an absolute banger there's nothing more boring than an inbox, and john somehow made it fun that changes your day to day more than you'd think it's just a pleasure to use, and i really think it has huge potential congrats on the launch john

I like the privacy angle of it: on-device, no cloud sync. The clean chat view is a nice bonus too. Does the on-device AI work offline?

@bettercallj0hn Congrats and happy launch! I like the idea and support the local & offline approach. Maybe mcp would be a great feature for those who have their own agents running for managing mail.
