Bad at coding, but would it be good at code review?

Are you using it? I will definitely give it a shot, any pointers to online resources will be appreciated

Let's say I want a free, local or free-tier-llm, simple solution to search information mostly from my emails and a little bit from text, doc and pdf files. Are there any tool I should try to have ollamma or gemini able to reply with my own knowledge base?

So do you have a tool to suggest?

Ask HN: Read‑only LLM tool for email triage and knowledge extraction?

maille — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 23:53:01 +0000

I’m looking for an LLM‑powered tool to help organize and query my email, but with a strict boundary: it must not write, send, or modify anything.

Standard filters miss the nuance of "middle-ground" emails, and existing AI email clients demand full inbox control or try to automate too much.

What I’m looking for:

- Strictly read‑only triage: Categorizes incoming mail (e.g., “important”, “maybe useful”, “likely promo”) with zero write permissions ie. no sending, moving, deleting, or auto-archiving

- Knowledge retrieval: Builds a searchable knowledge base from scattered threads. I want to ask natural-language questions like: “What were all the decisions about Project X across the last 3 months?”

- Follow-up & action item detection: surfaces email threads that have stalled and need a nudge, while extracting explicit tasks and deadlines buried in long chains

- (optional) Privacy-first: Ideally runs locally or lets me plug in my own API keys to keep the data secure

Has anyone seen a tool that focuses entirely on this read-only, triage + retrieval workflow?

What was the source of inspiration for Claude? I skimmed through the text and it does not look too bad, but devil is in the details and I need more time to go throught the fine prints. One remarks is that Young slit experiment could show what happens with a single slit vs 2

Would make one piece on optical interferometry? Inalways struggle explaining this with simple terms when asked to.

Can you really use Cursor for CPP ? Would you mind describing your setup? How better is it than copilot or windsurf?

Are there any similar solutions for MSVC? Almost all these tools are focused on VSCode.

Can you write, compile and debug c++ with that?

I'm curious what would be the best way to replicate an x/y (optionally z) system with 0.05mm or lower accuracy? Without sacrificing speed of course.

I find Codeium on PyCharm very powerful. Too bad their plugin for MSVC is so limited in comparison.
