Email Automation Application

This application is designed to process incoming emails efficiently using a combination of the Gmail API, Groq API, TypeScript, and Redis Queue and Workers. It follows a streamlined workflow:

1. Email Ingestion: Retrieves new emails from a specified Gmail inbox using the Gmail API via OAuth.
2. Groq Processing: Sends each retrieved email to the Groq API for natural language processing and analysis. Groq generates a comprehensive response based on the email's content.
3. Response Queueing: Adds the generated response to a Redis queue for efficient and scalable processing.
4. Email Sending: Workers consume messages from the Redis queue, crafting new email messages based on the Groq-generated responses. These messages are then sent using appropriate email delivery methods.
