Gev: Gmail label suggestions with an embedded inference engine.

A developer built Gev, a browser extension that reads Gmail messages and automatically applies labels such as Receipts, Personal, Updates, and Newsletters. The extension runs the Laya model via Transformers.js with the ONNX runtime bundled locally, so no message text is sent to an external inference API or hosted model.

I wanted a simpler way to sort email without sending message text to an AI service. So I started building Gev: a browser extension that reads my Gmail messages and automatically labels them into categories like Receipts, Personal, Updates, or Newsletters.

Gev uses Transformers.js with the https://github.com/receptron/laya model. The model and ONNX runtime are bundled with the extension. There’s no inference API or hosted model involved and no data is ever sent to an external service or host(except gmail).
