Carbon Mail

Hey Product Hunt 👋 We're Aryan(15) and Aarush(17) two students who created Carbon Mail. The problem: Gmail's AI features are powerful, but they send your data to Google's servers. Privacy-focused alternatives like Hey and Proton force you to change email addresses entirely. We wanted AI intelligence without the privacy tradeoff. What we built: Carbon Mail runs an AI model (500M parameters) entirely in your browser. Your email content never touches our servers, we literally can't read it even if we wanted to. Instead of treating email like folders to organize, we built Today View: open Carbon and see only what needs attention right now, sorted into Decide/Act/Respond/Review. We also added Privacy Shield, which blocks tracking pixels, detects phishing, and warns about sketchy links, because privacy shouldn't just be about AI. Current status: Beta with Gmail integration live. We're bootstrapped students, so we're being smart about what to build next. We'd love feedback on: Does the Today View workflow make sense, or is it too different from what you're used to? What email provider should we support next? (Outlook? ProtonMail?) Would you trust local AI over cloud AI for email? Thanks for checking us out. Happy to answer anything!
