    Supafaxfree tier, from $35/mo▲229

    Hey 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. The tricky bit is users are very reluctant to share that data with…

    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…

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…
