    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,…

    Hey HN! I've been working on Inbound (inbound.new) - an email system that lets you programmatically manage email addresses and route them to AI agents, webhooks, or forward them anywhere. The core idea: instead of manually managing email addresses, you create them on-demand via API and route incoming emails to your AI agents or other automated systems. For AI Agents: Create [email protected] and emails get sent to your AI agent as webhooks. Your agent can reply using our SDK. Perfect for AI customer support or automated responses. For Email Forwarding: Set up [email protected] to…

    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…

    Hi HN! My co-founder and I spent the last 4 weeks building something we desperately needed ourselves. The Problem: We spend hours processing emails - scheduling meetings, going through long newsletters, downloading attachments to review, verifying documents like invoices, and of course taking actions on external systems (Salesforce, Asana, Jira etc) based on emails received. A lot of this can be automated with the help of AI agents, saving several hours every week. Our Solution: Forward any email to a specialized AI agent that completes the task and email you back the results. No…
