    Hey HN, we're Haakam, Michael, and Adi. We're building AgentMail (https://agentmail.to/), an API to give AI agents their own email inboxes. We’re not talking about AI for your email, this is email for your AI. We started building email agents because they can converse with users in their inboxes, automate email-based workflows, and authenticate with third-party applications. Given these unique capabilities, we think email will be a core interface for agents. But we were building on top of Gmail, which was a struggle: poor API support, expensive subscriptions, rate limits,…

    I'm a control freak, the thought of having AI auto-replying to emails is ridiculous. Every founder I've met are the same way, just typing the words "Put your support/sales on auto-pilot" makes me cringe. I built min. to help me and my teammates with emails. Who should read it, who should reply, when to follow up, etc. min. is: - A simple email interface to manage both private and team inboxes. - An AI-native inbox that sorts and prioritizes messages into custom labels and folders. - A replacement for patchwork of CRMs, helpdesks, and spreadsheets with just… email. - Conversational…

    We were building an agent system and wanted email as a trigger. We decided to take it out and made it a standalone service. The primary email features we wanted and used for our own agent system: 1. Email threading stays consistent with agent conversation threading 2. Human in the loop review for outbound emails (especially during testing phase) 3. Quick onboarding/offboarding email addresses for agents within minutes 4. Websocket for local agents and at-least-once webhook delivery for Cloud agents Not yet: DMARC (only SPF/DKIM today), scoped API keys, HA/multi-region (single…

    I kept running into the same problem while building AI agents: every agent that needs email ends up sharing my personal inbox or a single company domain. That breaks attribution, creates deliverability risk, and makes it impossible to test sender identities per agent. So I built AgentMailr. You call an API to create an inbox, your agent gets a unique email address, and replies route back to that specific agent. Works for both inbound (OTP parsing, reply routing) and outbound (cold email, notifications). Bring your own domain is supported so emails come from your domain, not ours. REST API…
