AI agent that reads emails
The identity and email layer for AI agents that read emails. Every agent gets its own inbox, domain, reputation, and full audit history of everything it receives.
The problem
Your agent needs to read incoming emails, but sharing a human mailbox means OAuth consent flows and security flags.
Polling Gmail or Outlook APIs hits rate limits fast when the agent checks for new messages every few seconds.
Inbound messages arrive as raw MIME, and the agent has no threading context to know which conversation a reply belongs to.
When the agent reads and acts on an email, there is no log of what it extracted or what action it took.
Multiple agents reading from the same inbox create race conditions. One agent marks a message read before another processes it.
The solution
AgentMail is the identity and email layer for agents that read emails.
Dedicated inbox per agent
Each agent gets its own address. Inbound messages route to the agent that owns the inbox, so there are no race conditions or shared-mailbox conflicts.
Real-time webhooks, no polling
A webhook fires the moment a message arrives. Your agent gets the full parsed message, headers, and thread context without calling a polling loop.
Pods for multi-tenant isolation
If your product serves multiple customers, pods keep each tenant's inboxes and messages fully isolated from the others.
Full audit trail
Every message received, read, and acted on is logged. You can trace exactly what the agent saw and when it saw it.
What your email-reading agents can do
Triage
Classify and route inbound email
The agent reads each incoming message, classifies it by intent or urgency, and routes it to the right team or workflow automatically.
Extraction
Extract structured data from messages
Pull order numbers, invoice totals, dates, or any structured fields from email body text and attachments without manual parsing rules.
Reply
Read and reply in the same thread
The agent reads an inbound message, decides on a response, and replies in the same conversation thread with full context preserved.
Monitor
Monitor inboxes for specific triggers
Set up an agent to watch for keywords, senders, or patterns. When a matching message arrives, the webhook fires and the agent acts.
AgentMail is built to scale.
Redundant infrastructure spanning multiple regions, so a message to your agent lands even when a region does not.
Provision an inbox in milliseconds. Nothing to verify, nothing to wait on.
Typed SDKs, REST endpoints, and webhooks. Your first send goes out the same afternoon.
