{"id":91972,"title":"AgentMail - The API-first email provider for AI agents","tagline":"Give AI agents their own email inboxes","body":"# TLDR\n\nAgentMail is the first email provider for AI agents. Use our API to give your agents their own email inboxes.\n\n# Why?\n\nWe started building email agents because they can live within users’s inboxes in their inboxes and authenticate themselves with third-party applications. But building on top of legacy providers such as Gmail is a struggle. They\n\n* Lack API support for creating new inboxes\n* Charge monthly subscriptions per inbox\n* Impose restrictive rate and sending limits\n* Offer poor developer experience\n\nThese providers don’t scale with both inbox creation or volumes of emails sent/received that AI agents often face, so we’re rebuilding email infrastructure from scratch to enable this.\n\n# Solution\n\nAgentMail is an API-first email provider that gives agents their own inboxes to send, receive, and act upon emails. Think of it like Gmail, but with\n\n 1. Programmatic inbox creation and management\n 2. Usage-based pricing scaling with emails sent/received\n 3. No restrictive rate/sending limits\n 4. Real-time events over webhooks and websockets\n 5. Simple API key auth – no OAuth headaches\n 6. Built-in API permissions and agent guardrails\n 7. Semantic search across every inbox in organization\n 8. Automatic labeling with user-defined prompts\n 9. Structured data extraction\n10. And more on the way!\n\n# Demo\n\nIn this demo, we show how easy it is to build an email agent with AgentMail: https://youtu.be/1V7BISeFUTM\n\nIn this demo, we show an example of a voice + email agent built with AgentMail: [https://youtu.be/eG2fCsRK4RY](https://youtu.be/eG2fCsRK4RY?feature=shared)\n\n# Ask\n\nIf you are building agents that could use email capabilities, we would love to learn more about your company.
