Conversation Workbench

Conversation Workbench is a private, owner-operated desktop application for archiving and searching email from Google accounts its owner authorizes. It downloads messages and their original attachments, preserves local copies, and builds a local full-text search index of email headers and bodies.

The application requests read-only Gmail access. It does not send email, change labels or read status, or delete messages from Gmail. Original attachments are preserved; their contents are not currently included in full-text search.

A local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets the owner's chosen AI client search the archive and retrieve selected email evidence. Results supplied to an AI client may be processed by that client's provider under the owner's settings and its terms. This public information website does not provide access to email, credentials, or the local search service.

This application is for the owner's personal use and has no public sign-up.
