Supafaxfree tier, from $35/mo▲229Hey HN, We're building Supafax an agent that uses email as its memory and config store. Here's how it works: - You email yourself to talk to the agent - The agent uses that slice of your outbox as it's inbox and short term memory - It can insert emails into your inbox to store routines, reminders, and rules for itself Email is such a good primitive because it's essentially an append-only immutable record of all the valuable context about you and your relationships, and agents thrive on this highly structured surface.
