It addresses key needs like verification codes, async human-in-the-loop, conversation threads, and stable identity, and compares current agent-email platforms.

Key points

  • AI agents need a real inbox for verification codes, human-in-the-loop, threads, and stable identity.
  • Two architectures: bring your own agent (via webhook) or MailKite managed (using action: 'agent').
  • Look for: own domain, clean inbound JSON, reply-in-thread, per-agent isolation, MCP-native tools, and scale-friendly pricing.
  • Security: treat inbound email as untrusted input to prevent prompt injection; use signature verification and least-privilege constraints.
