namake: I type three lazy words, a sloth-sized model writes the keigo
Description and use
Namake is a local CLI that turns short memos into full Japanese business emails and summarizes inboxes into concise notes, using Gemma 3 1B offline.
Problem
Writing polite Japanese business emails from short memos is time‑consuming and error‑prone.
Outcome
Each draft took 4–5 s on CPU; the tool runs offline, costs nothing, and keeps client data local.
Workflow
- 1. Run
namake puff "火曜14時OK。資料は明日送る。" --to 佐藤様to generate a full email. - 2. Run
namake shrink mail.txtto condense a long email into two lines. - 3. Run
namake digest inbox/overnight to produce a morning summary with actionable items on top.
Evidence
It runs Gemma 3 1B locally through llama.cpp. No API key, no network.
Each draft took about 4 to 5 seconds on CPU, including loading the model.
In one draft the model wrote 出産いたします "I will give birth" where it meant 提出 "submit".
Work mail stays on my machine.
