## 📊 The Analysis Feed

As the AI processes your inbox, emails appear in the feed with real-time status updates and intelligent insights.

*   **Smart Search**: Quickly find emails by keyword or sender.
*   **AI Filters**: Filter your view by Category (e.g., Newsletter, Personal), Sentiment, or Priority.
*   **Dynamic Sorting**: Toggle between the time an email was *received* and the time it was *processed* by the AI.

### 📌 Email Detail Sidebar
Clicking any email card opens a detailed side panel containing:
*   **AI Summary**: A concise overview of the email's content.
*   **Key Points**: Bulleted highlights extracted by the AI.
*   **Draft Preview**: If a draft reply was generated, you can review it here before it's sent.
*   **Quick Links**: Jump directly to the original email in your Gmail or Outlook web interface.
