Question 1

Can I script it and pipe the JSON output?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that is the whole point. Every command prints JSON to stdout by default, so you can pipe it straight into jq, xargs or awk: atbridge mail search --from billing | jq -r '.[].id'. Add --pretty for a human-readable table, --verbose for full detail, or --count for just a total. Errors go to stderr and every command sets an exit code you can branch on.

Question 2

Does it need Thunderbird open, or a GUI?

Accepted Answer

atbridge.ai works through your local Thunderbird, so it can drive your mailboxes, calendars, contacts, notes and tasks. Thunderbird needs to be installed, running and signed in to your accounts — but you drive everything from the terminal, with no GUI clicks, and the commands themselves never open a window. On a headless box, run Thunderbird in the background and script against it as normal.

Question 3

What model does it use?

Accepted Answer

Whichever you bring. Connect any of 15 providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and more — with atbridge connect activate, or point it at a coding CLI you already pay for (claude-cli / codex-cli) to run under your own login with no API key. Deterministic Skills like today and clashes need no model at all.

Question 4

Does it work in cron and CI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. atbridge.ai is a single binary with structured JSON output and real exit codes, so it drops straight into a crontab, a CI pipeline or any automation. Pipe secrets and message bodies over stdin (--key-stdin, --md-file) so nothing sensitive lands in your shell history.

Question 5

What does it cost, and which plans include the CLI?

Accepted Answer

The CLI is on every plan, including Free. It draws from one shared ops budget: 20 ops per month on Free, 300 on Personal and unlimited on Pro. Every new account starts with a 14-day full-Pro trial. The AI conversation itself is free — only the mailbox action it triggers counts as an op. The `atbridge notes` commands are the one exception: driving your notes from outside Thunderbird comes with Personal and Pro (inside Thunderbird, Notes are on every plan).

Question 6

Is my mail sent anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. atbridge.ai runs on your machine and talks to Thunderbird locally, so your messages are never routed through our servers. If you point it at a local model, the whole loop stays on your machine; if you choose a cloud model, only the specific text you ask it to work with is sent to that provider.
