    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…

    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…

    https://mailpilot.chat What is this? A local TUI (like Claude, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode or Copilot) that wraps your agent and sends each turn to an email in a nice format. What does it enable?

    Hi HN , I got tired of writing the same boilerplate over and over — DB setup, auth, routes, security — every time I built a backend. So I built Pipo360 — an AI-powered tool that generates production-ready backends in under 60 seconds, from just a plain-text description. How it works: Type what you need “Create a task management API with user auth and MongoDB” Hit Generate Get real, exportable code Auth (JWT) Database schema CRUD routes Deployable to Vercel, AWS, etc. No templates. No lock-in. Just code that works. Why it’s different: Built with Gemini AI + human supervision (to ensure real…

    The AI Horseless Carriages article spurred a lot of conversation about how we should just be giving users the system prompt box [0], and we were pretty surprised that a bunch of email clients didn’t pop up following this pattern [1]. So we went ahead and created a local [2] email client that you can run that processes your inbox with your own handwritten rules. It lets you label and archive based on natural language rules. You can draft responses with your own drafting prompt, and there’s a “research sender” option that uses web search to get public info on a sender. You can customize any of…

    Yet another "talk to your data and build a dashboard" app, where data does not leave your browser. You ask a question, agents produce multiple SQL queries to in-browser sqlite, never seeing results, and write dashboard configuration code. The data you analyze will be indexed with a local semantic index (embeddings generation + sqlite vector search fully local). Next, sandboxed QuickJS runs this code to produce rich dashboards directly in your browser, no backend attached. This is a fully frontend app (except OpenRouter or other remote LLM). All data sent to LLM's is heavily sanitized and…
