i love what workos is doing and i also spoke at their event already. we think this is complementary - we're not setting out to create a new standard, we're giving better access to what already exists.

we extensively rate limit and prevent outbound sending until an agent has been verified by a human :) more detailed in OG post

i appreciate your feedback and thanks for using agentmail!

thanks for the feedback! it is top of mind for us, and we've done our research to prevent this as much as possible. it is constantly ongoing and we never settle in our measures to protect against this

yep we're going to have a footer linked to our website, which should allow people to see that we are an email service for agents. thanks!

This was likely a free tier user. We do this intentionally and don't allow free users to send from custom domains, so you can have a easier time identifying LLM emails. In this case, it seemed like it worked :)

Appreciate the concern Mike, and I actually read your email complaining, which helped us ship this next feature. We have a "sent via AgentMail" footer being added soon to outbound emails to identify emails coming from LLM's.

We also are working on adding more robust checks and LLM-based filtering to prevent messages which contain spam or outbound-like copy.

Re; AgentMail next to Claude, we're working on stateful inboxes which help agents actually recall and understand what they're sending and to who. The goal is to provide the rails for intelligent actors rather than slop.

agreed from a fundamental level. but i think being an intelligent and aware as an autonomous entity requires capabilities beyond sending. agents will need to have contextual awareness of the messages they send and receive

nice, we're working on agentmail so i think we have similar ideas. its a big problem!

how are you implementing agentmail? would love to know more

thank you, this means a lot!

We know the founder of this pretty well actually. It's not really an alternative. They are an MCP that is building an email-like layer for coding agents to talk to each other. We are an actual email inbox provisioned via API for agents to email agents or humans.
