OpenAI Codex CLI + Pontius
OpenAI's coding assistant. Bring GPT-powered intelligence to your inbox — same workflow, powered by OpenAI.
Why OpenAI?
GPT models for your inbox
OpenAI's GPT models excel at understanding context and generating natural responses. If you're in the OpenAI ecosystem, Pontius fits right in.
GPT-4 intelligence
State-of-the-art language understanding for complex email scenarios. Nuanced responses that match the situation.
Tone matching
GPT excels at adapting writing style to match your voice. Professional, casual, or anything in between.
Same workflow
Pontius commands work identically whether you use OpenAI or other AI tools. Switch providers without changing your process.
“Already using OpenAI for coding? Now use it for email too. Same terminal, same brain.”
If you're already working with Codex, Cursor, or other OpenAI-powered tools, adding email management is natural. One ecosystem, complete productivity.
What you get
Full email management with GPT
Every Pontius feature works with OpenAI. Triage, reply, organize, learn — all powered by GPT models.
Intelligent triage
GPT analyzes your inbox, identifies urgent items, and summarizes what needs your attention. Stop drowning in unread messages.
Contextual replies
OpenAI understands conversation context and drafts replies that sound like you. Professional, personal, or casual — it adapts.
Smart organization
Automatically categorize emails, move to folders, archive noise. GPT learns your organizational preferences over time.
Knowledge base
Every interaction builds your knowledge base. Contact context, templates, routing rules — all learned over time.

# In Codex CLI, just ask naturally:
"What's in my inbox that needs a response today?"
"Draft a polite follow-up to the proposal I sent last week"
"Archive everything from noreply addresses"In action
Example workflow
You say:
"Check for any replies to my outreach emails from this week. Draft follow-ups for anyone who hasn't responded."
GPT responds:
I've checked your sent folder and inbox:
- Replied: Sarah Chen (interested, scheduled call)
- No response: 3 prospects from Monday's outreach
Draft follow-up for Michael Torres:
Hi Michael, Just wanted to follow up on my email from Monday. I know things get busy — happy to jump on a quick call whenever works for you. No pressure, but thought it was worth a nudge. Best, [Your name]
Want me to send this, or shall I draft the other follow-ups first?
The secret sauce
It gets smarter every session
Unlike AI tools that start fresh every time, Pontius builds a persistent knowledge base. Contacts learn preferred tones. Common scenarios get templates. Rules automate the routine.
Your knowledge base works across any AI. Start with OpenAI, switch to Claude later — everything you've built comes with you.
