What is AgentMail?

AgentMail is an API platform for giving AI agents their own inboxes to send, receive, and act upon emails. We handle the infrastructure so you can focus on building email agents.

Email agents can:

  • Have conversations with users in their inboxes
  • Automate email-based workflows for enterprises
  • Authenticate with third party applications
  • Act as first-class users on the internet

The Problem with Traditional Email

Existing email infrastructure was built for humans. Legacy providers such as Gmail and Outlook have several limitations for agentic use cases:

No API for Inboxes

Legacy providers lack API support for creating new inboxes on-demand.

Per-Inbox Pricing

They charge monthly subscriptions per inbox($12/inbox/month !!), which is costly for agents.

Restrictive Limits

They impose restrictive rate and sending limits not suitable for automation.

Poor DX

Overall, they offer a poor developer experience for building on top of email. The Gmail API sucks!

The Solution

AgentMail is an API-first email provider that is designed for agents. Think of it like Gmail, but with:

1

API-First Infrastructure

Programmatic Inboxes: Create and manage inboxes via API.

Usage-Based Pricing: Pay only for what you use.

High-Volume Ready: No restrictive rate or sending limits.

Real-Time Events: Get notified instantly with webhooks and websockets.

Simple Authentication: Use API keys, no complex OAuth flows.

2

AI-Native Features

Built-in Security: Use API permissions and agent guardrails to control access.

Semantic Search: Search across all inboxes in your organization by meaning.

Automatic Labeling: Automatically categorize emails with user-defined prompts.

Structured Data Extraction: Pull structured data from unstructured emails.

And more on the way…

Our customers use AgentMail for agent identity, authentication, and communication. To get started make an account on our console and please email support@agentmail.cc if you run into any issues.
