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 l…

Thank you, all credit goes to my cofounder Michael! Your comment made our day

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 g…

Nice, looking forward to hear about it!

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!

Thanks! We've posted some vlogs on X, but I think we have some good content for engineering blogs too. Appreciate the support

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

Yes, it;s as easy as calling an SDK. We have a waitlist and you can try our playground: https://chat.agentmail.to

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.

Yes you can use SES or Mailgun. But you would also need to build inboxes, email threading, attachment parsing, semantic search, structured data extraction, and more.

Curious: how are you tackling abuse/spam at scale, especially as more agents start talking to each other? Also, any plans for plug-and-play integrations with popular agent frameworks, or is the focus purely on infra for now?

Congrats on shipping - looking forward to seeing your journey.
