  Target Milestone: ---

As I've suggested for Baloo, add some local AI engine. There are plenty of open
source ones that can be used locally. Of course it should be optional: meybe
not users need it nor wnat to use several gigs of their storage for local AI.
but for many of us, would be a great improvement to be able to query Kmail,
Korganizer, Akregator, etc, instead of just getting a list of mails with the
searched terms.
Another use would be mail classification and labeling. Kmail's labels work...
well, you know, if they work at all, and also only follow rudimentary logic
along the lines of: "If the subject/sender/recipient/etc contains "this", label
it "Such". The really useful thing to do would be to say to the AI: "All
messages that come into any of my accounts that are about raising horses in
coastal climates, tag me with labels that say "horses", "livestock", "sea" and
move them to a folder you create in my local inbox with the name "Raising
horses".
Or think about spelling. The current spellchecker is a piece of... well, let's
be polite, from 1998 or so, which can't tell that in ""Heyco me to my place to
morrow. Well behav ing a party" it doesn't have to correct "Heyco" and passing
"me" as good, nor "Well behav ing" is "Well behave in"  but "but "We'll be
having", and such.
I suppose that many of you have moved from writing texts for emails in Kmail to
ChatGPT, Deepseek, Duck.ai or any other AI precisely because of that, and
because of the possibility of asking the AI to punctuate it correctly or even
give the text a more formal, friendly, jocular, etc. character.
Of how useful it would be to be able to ask the AI to summarise the news we get
in Akregator, I think it's so obvious that over any comment.

Well, wouldn't it be great to be able to do that from the privacy of our mail,
calendar, news, etc.?
