Knowmail supports localization per demand

They mean that Germans are privacy-sensitive.

Client based plugin connected to Knowmail's SaaS in order to generating the heavy modeling for each user

It is also automated filtering and prioritization, as well as its aimed for corporate with individuals receiving hundreds of daily emails, thus cannot filter them semi-manually.

Furthermore, there are next-best-action features, as to save time, keep organized and reduce noise...to move to appropriate folder automatically, clean an email until a later (more appropriate time), mute yourself from a conversation until named, etc.

Email data is not shared, as it remains client side, where recommendations are given per user.

No identifiable data leaves your device, and only anonymized info is utilized to build a "personal model" for a user.

I would have issue with "anonymized info" as this is difficult to achieve as shown from other anonymous data releases [0].

> No identifiable data leaves your device

This sounds incredibly hard to achieve with email contents - nothing identifiable at all? Does it do things like strip names out of email bodies? It says they learn contacts under priority stuff (which seems sensible) - so they do that locally?

Looking at their other features - what are they sending messages to the cloud for?

No way to know, since it isn't free software.

It's good to see that someone remembers why libre software IS important. Because you know what you are running on your machine.

It uses machine learning in order to build a personalized model for each user, based on their personal habits and email communication behaviors

Machine learning is not AI

Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence providing computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.

I guess the original point was that machine learning is nothing like actual intelligence, it is closer to a process of artificial model creation than anything else. "Artificial intelligence" is a term that's completely abused these days.

Well, machine learning might not enlighten us to understand actual intelligence. There is no reason why actual intelligence can't simply be modeled by (and function like) a giant neural network. Many of us hope there is some form of symbolic intelligence deeper than just stochastic models or neural nets, but we really don't know.

Depends on what you mean by "these days."

I did an AI degree over ten years ago, and Machine Learning was certainly considered a part of AI then.

> Machine Learning was certainly considered a part of AI then

That's part of the problem. The definition of AI is extremely loose. If by AI we actually mean "replicating the process of human intelligence through algorithms" then Machine Learning is certainly not it.

That's a question of terminlogy. Nowadays AI seems to include machine learning as a subfield. It doesn't matter much. But AI is a sexy term again (after the years of the AI winter), and companies market machine learning under AI now. Also, classic AI books now include ML, not just symbolic stuff, logic, planning and graph search.

Isn't machine learning a subfield of AI? https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-main-differences-between-...

In any case, they are a startup, if it sells more and it is "technically correct" then it is fair game.

Its UI is like Outlook as it works on top of Outlook, keeping employees communicating by email same as they regularly are.
