Before adding AI integration into the product, please consider that this might be a show-stopper for many users who work in industries or companies that have restrictive approaches towards allowing work related information to be included or incorporated into training or refining AI models.
Especially since such training appears to be a one-way street for now (it appears to be impossible to request an opt-out once ones data has been incorporated into the pre-trained transformer).
Just need to consider the ruckus that Microsoft's "recall" feature has had to weather to understand how controversial this kind of feature can be for some businesses.
So, if such a feature is to be added, make it opt-in / optional.
Also suggest to look at Apple's approach to ensuring a privacy first AI implementation in their products. -

I use regular expressions for this.
Believe you need to turn on full path capture for this to work properly.
It does not work with the "new outlook" app on Windows, but works fine with the regular "outlook" windows app.The exact regular expression may vary depending on what language your outlook app uses.
I have a separate auto tag timeline for "Dialogue" and track mail, slack, teams etc dialogue in that timeline. I use regex to try and extract the person I was communicating with and the subject of the conversation. If possible. (it is not always possible)
For English language Outlook (windows)
Create an autotag and for group:"Outlook" and use the following regex to extract the subject.
#"(?i)\A(?:to|from)[^\w]+([^,]+),[^\w]+subject:(.*)\Z"
You can access the subject via the special keyword {{2}}
Can also access the sender or recipient via the special keyword {{1}}If using another language than English, just change the "to" "from" and "subject" phrases to the terms that outlook uses for your language.
Sometimes outlook uses a different format for the sender or recipient, that is far more complex to parse correctly with regex. Subject is reliably simple to parse though.
I normally have several autotag rules, with the "stop after first matching rule" option turned on. That allows me to capture and group drafts (no subject or recipient) also.

One can use regular expressions to clean up the info that Slack provides.
#"^([^(]*)(\((?:DM|Channel)\))[^-]+[-\s]+([^-]+)[-\s]+.*?Slack(?:\s\[Main+]\s)?(.*?)$"
then the name of the group or individual you are chatting in can be accessed via the following capturing group {{1}}

need to turn on full path capture as Charlie suggested.

Please consider the privacy implications of this. Note the ruckus that Windows Recall (which implements a similar feature) has faced.
Maybe, if possible rather than reinvent the wheel - it could be possible to hook into Windows Recall for this functionality and let Microsoft take the heat for the privacy and security of this feature.
