Use case · Email-as-memory

Your inbox already knows everything.

Eighty percent of your life's receipts are in Gmail or Microsoft 365. Lossless reads them, extracts the structured fields, links threads to people, places, and accounts — and turns Gmail-search-by-keyword into ask-anything-by-meaning.

Founder's note

9,000 purchases. Two years of tax amendments. One inbox.

I found that Gmail is the goldmine of them all. I reconstructed over 9,000 purchases, receipts and installment loans from my own inbox — and filed tax amendments for two years because I'd forgotten so many receipts that quietly add up over time. It's incredible how much of your life is sitting in your email; we just forget.
— Vlad Shunturov, founder

Every receipt, parsed

Order confirmations, invoices, statements — fields extracted (vendor, amount, date, items, refund window) and linked to the right account, vehicle, or trip.

Installments + financing tracked

Affirm, Klarna, AfterPay, store-credit plans. Lossless follows the schedule, matches each payment, and flags missed or duplicate charges.

Tax-relevant pull, year-by-year

Schedule C/E candidates surfaced by domain. Charitable, medical, vehicle, business — categorized with citations to the source email.

What gets extracted

From a thread to a typed record.

The same inbox you search by keyword becomes a structured field for every person, place, account, and amount.

A confirmation email becomes a service record with date, vehicle, cost, and PDF attached.

Real questions

Things you've tried to find in Gmail. And probably gave up on.

"Where's the…"

Receipt for the dishwasher repair from 2024.

Returns the email + invoice PDF + bank charge that matched + warranty start date.

"What did…"

I tell Maria about the apartment?

Surfaces every email, iMessage, and voice note where the topic comes up — chronologically.

"When was…"

The last visit to Dr. Lee?

Pulls the appointment confirmation, post-visit summary, prescription update, and receipt — in one paragraph.

"How much…"

Did we spend on Maya's summer camp last 3 years?

Auto-aggregated across Venmo, Chase, Gmail receipts, and iMessage agreements with co-parent.

"Did I already…"

Reply to the contractor about the bathroom quote?

Returns the thread state, the last message, and a draft reply suggestion grounded in the project record.

How it's safe

Read-only by design.

Lossless requests the minimum Gmail / Microsoft 365 scopes needed to read what you let it read. We never request send, never request delete, never modify your inbox. Audit the scopes on the security page — they're published per-provider.

Toggle off any data class at any time. Lossless will retroactively forget anything ingested under that grant.

  • ✓ Real OAuth — no passwords stored, ever
  • ✓ Per-message redaction tools (right-click → never read this thread)
  • ✓ Folder-level allow/deny lists for sensitive labels
  • ✓ Continuous incremental sync — no full inbox dumps
  • ✓ One-click disconnect, with full purge option

I had 18 years of Gmail and I gave up trying to find anything in it. Lossless made it the most useful thing I own again.
