Smart Inbox

Email content directly into your Village. AI-powered classification turns emails into stories, photos, documents, and events - with automatic translation to German, French, and Dutch.

How It Works

Three simple steps from email to published content

1

Send an Email

Forward or send content to your Village's inbox address. Include photos, documents, or just text.

2

AI Classifies

Our hybrid AI (local + cloud with consent) determines content type and extracts key information.

3

Review or Auto-Publish

High-confidence content publishes automatically. Lower confidence goes to moderator review queue.
