Non-intrusive AI agent to automate email driven workflows
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…

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,…
I built AI agents with CrewAI to automate my entire Gmail workflow2025 · github.com · ▲26I created a crew of AI agents using CrewAI to automate my old Gmail account that had a lot of unread emails. This is what I had it do: - Categorizing emails and assigning priority levels - Applying labels and stars based on content analysis - Creating draft responses for important emails only + saving it in Drafts folder - Sending Slack notifications for high-priority messages (I use Slack a lot) - Cleaning up low-priority emails based on configurable rules (delete low quality emails + empty trash afterwards) It works with most of the models so long as they're good at tool calling (most OSS…

Tapflow 2.0▲1,125We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
