MailCat – Email service for AI agents (open-source)

Hi HN, I built MailCat because my AI agents kept getting stuck at "please verify your email." The key insight: if your AI agent can read documentation, it can set itself up. Just paste this into Claude Code, OpenClaw, or any AI agent: "Read https://mailcat.ai/skill.md and set up a MailCat mailbox for yourself. Save the token securely." That's it. Your agent reads the skill.md, creates a mailbox via API, and handles email verification autonomously from there. What it does: - Instant mailbox creation via API - Verification codes auto-extracted from emails - 1-hour retention…

    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,…

    Hi HN! We're Haakam, Michael, and Adi from AgentMail- a ycs25 company. We give AI agents their own email inboxes. Recently, we ran an experiment called Agent.Email. It's a signup flow designed specifically for AI agents instead of humans. The inspiration came from a few comments we received when we did our seed launch a few months back. They all came from the very apt observation that agents not being able to sign up to a product made for agents without human credentials was ironic and unideal. This is basically the thesis we built AgentMail on: The internet was made for humans exclusively,…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
