    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,…

Our Solution: Forward any email to a specialized AI agent that completes the task and email you back the results. No…
