I have been using Gmail connector for Deep Research in ChatGPT and it works like a charm. For sending emails, I have been using Gmail MCPs

MCP's are great as another communication medium with these agents(we have an MCP server as well!) The problem we are primarily solving is the scale at which you can provision inboxes to these agents in the first place. With Gmail there comes a lot of hoops and hurdles(its built for human usage) with their APi. So when it comes to orchestrating inboxes for thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands of agents, thats…

I see - is it just an SDK? How do I try this out

I'm interested in trying agentmail for one of our internal agents, but I noticed you're still on a waitlist and the "contact us" and "contact sales" buttons don’t seem to be clickable. Just wanted to flag in case it's a bug. Excited to try it once access opens up.

Hi xinweihe, thanks for catching that. We are onboarding the waitlist with very fast turnaround. But, feel free to email me at haakam[at]agentmail[dot]cc

I was previously considering building in this space but the infra around sending /receiving email for lots of addresses seemed like a major pain before getting to anything properly exciting, excited to see this! Would also encourage you to build good local dev/testing infra, dealing with email gets messy. I believe truly useful AI assistants will use the same tools that humans prefer to use, rather than forcing us to…

It has been a journey, in fact even harder than we were expecting. But can say it was well worth it after seeing the unlock for devs building in the email space.

Cool product. I see the need. Many vendors might look like they have similar capabilities on a powerpoint, but when you look one level deeper, they really don't. Eg, webhook notifications at 1 minute intervals with one big json of multiple emails, vs continuous/instant/single.

btw, would love to hear stories of you journey thus far. fwiw, I think you're really onto smtg!

i created this last summer https://gpt.franzai.com (test just email gpt@franzai.com) sadly it never took off so it just became another abandoned side project but still sometimes I use it ie do distill long emails or translate them without leaving the inbox - also the reminder and todo list feature is nice - whereby i mostly use the "remind me of this email next monday" so my learnings for email agents: give them a se…

Sorry for plugging in our product here but this comment seemed relevant. We are actually building something similar at mxgo[.]ai. Started exactly same way as you did, now working on a chrome extension with suggestions within inbox. Would love to connect and know your feedback.

What is the infrastructure tooling behind this product? I wanted to build this but it seemed like it is not a small startup project to build such big infra without riding on the existing email infra (which results in loss of the excitement to actually build the project itself and continue using the existing email infra by giants)

You can do this with SES on AWS or Mailgun. We use SES for this exact use case. Giving agents programmatic access to an email inbox and programmatically creating inboxes.

This is really interesting and I'm sure it has many useful applications - what I am most impressed by is the popovers in your dashboard, which show SDK examples. This is a brilliant UI idea (executed with great polish) and is the first time I'm seeing it.

Unfortunately I'm not a potential customer and don't have useful feedback on the market landscape - all I can add is that I really love your design. Also it seems like you all launched the new landing page while I was typing this comment a little past midnight, so kudos on the work ethic as well.

I do not have a use case for this _right now_. But I am a 100% sure I will have one pretty soon.

Email has become this massive, constant influx of information, that cannot be managed with just adding an AI agent to it. It takes so much more context knowledge to get right. None of the tools I have tried so far seem to solve this problem the way I would need it.

So sooner or later I might solve it for myself. And you guys will get a new customer.

Good luck, cowboys!
