Hi everyone, my name is Tunde and I’m the creator of LeanBox. I’ve been trying to setup a good workflow with Claude to manage my inbox everywhere and help me reach inbox zero quickly, and wasn’t happy with the current options so I decided to create an open-source alternative.
Been working on this project since March and here is what it can do so far:
- You can connect your Gmail, Instagram or Slack
- It gives you a digest daily of everything you need to reply to, FYIs, and also suggestions of emails to unsubscribe from
- It can automatically write response drafts for all channels based on your snippets
- It can automatically unsubscribe from spam emails for you.
You can self host it, I have a Docker image built and hosted so it’s easy to setup.
Would love to get some feedback and happy to answer any questions.
Hey, right now Fuse is dependent on third party aggregators and is most useful for companies that want to increase coverage and reliability. One idea if you're concerned with aggregators storing your customer data, is to only whitelist institutions where connections are established through OAuth. This way the aggregator won't be storing any account credentials. Most top aggregators have a few of the top institutions using OAuth now, so if coverage is not an issue for you this would be a good path.
This is a great request! We've been considering building out a managed auth flow and bank syncing, would love to chat for 15 minutes and learn from your use case. Does any of these times work for you this week https://calendly.com/letsfuse/fuse-demo-15, appreciate it!
In regards to coverage in the UK, we currently support Truelayer and we are building out a Tink and SaltEdge integration. They'll be available early next month.
Hey, we don't store personal info for our core product which is Fuse Connect we only act as a pass through. The Consumer/Business Credit Risk product does require us to store historic transaction data in order to calculate insights.
Over the past few years a lot of consumer apps have started using bank data to determine credit risk for customers. From our experience this is generally accepted by consumers, as credit data does not provide the full picture. For example, I am originally from the UK and after moving to the US, I had no credit history so it was generally hard for me to use any service that could not determine risk based on cash flow.
So if our customers want to use another service or build it out themselves in house at a later date, they can always get all the original tokens.
We've also seen some of our customers use this endpoint to get access to original tokens and use it to make a request that we don't support yet via the original aggregator.
Thanks! If you already have an aggregator contracts, you can pass in the API keys into our backend and we'll use that for new connections. We have many users who come in with existing aggregators and want to combine it with another one to improve coverage. Here's an example of the SDK initialization - https://docs.letsfuse.com/docs/fuse-sdk
We also partner with some of the aggregators, so if you wanted to combine your existing one with a new one, we can help you setup the contract with no effort on your end.
Our unified endpoints are also backward compatible, so if you pass in an aggregator access token instead of a Fuse access token it'll work as expected.
Here's an example webhook:
{
type: 'transactions.updates',
financial_connection_id: "financial_connection_id",
environment: "sandbox",
source: "teller",
//Boolean indicating whether historical transaction information (up to 24 months) is ready to be queried.
historical_transactions_available: true,
//An array of string transaction ids indicated the transactions that have been removed and will not be available if the transactions are queried again. Currently only supported by plaid
removed_transaction_ids: [
"tx_1234",
"tx_5677"
]
remote_data: {}
}
That’s awesome! Which features are you using? We are focused on giving the end users the best UX & UI as well as providing more mobile & web SDK to make development seamless. We also have aggregators in every continent. Would be curious to get your thoughts on our docs
For Fuse Connect we charge for Connection, Transaction & Balance request. You can find the exact price breakdown here - https://www.letsfuse.com/pricing
That's how it works right now :) Everyone adds their payment method, and we charge everyone their share when the bill is due then we pay for the bill automatically.
Great question! For rent payments, we do not make the payments with a YSplit card. We either send a check to the landlord or pay with an FBO account. Most utility providers don't charge that fee, but we don't pass the fee onto the user when they do.
That's a great idea! We could maybe set up an optional deposit in the app to be used if someone forgets to pay their share. To deal with this in the app at the moment, we have a tonne of useful notifications reminding everyone to pay their share and an autopay option. But I definitely think your suggestion will come in handy as we scale.
