Hi guys! I was wondering:

What self hosted software are you missing? What would you which existed?

Background: I am a quite Senior Dev and have 6 months between gigs. Would be fun to start a side project to keep my skills sharp.

Yes, that’s exactly what I want it to do

Most of my 60-70 email replies per day are answered in almost the exact same way

I want it to read an email and then, using paragraphs or sentences from my previous emails, automatically generate a response

There are already companies out there who are generating what they term small language models - basically hybrid models of say gpt 3.5 plus a large volume of corporate data - but they are all cloud based

Others offer plugins to help answer your emails

I’d like a combination of the same to run locally

I think you will find most of these are not small language models, but are instead the thing I said above - a llm like gpt + a search engine. Even small language models require millions of texts and only perform very specialised tasks.
