Appreciate the concern Mike, and I actually read your email complaining, which helped us ship this next feature. We have a "sent via AgentMail" footer being added soon to outbound emails to identify emails coming from LLM's.

#127> The internet was made for humans exclusively, designed to keep machines out by default. This feels like a wrong assumption. Internet was not intended for humans explicitly. If anything browsers were the explicit medium made to allow the humans to interact with internet in safe manner. > Every signup flow assumes a browser, a person reading a page, and clicking a confirmation link. Unless agents can't do that, they…
