OpenMail is an email inbox platform built specifically for AI agents, providing dedicated addresses, real-time webhooks, and LLM-ready document parsing.
What the product does and how it is positioned
OpenMail provides purpose-built email infrastructure designed from the ground up for AI agents, replacing traditional transactional email APIs that focus solely on outbound blasting. Every agent gets its own distinct email address to interact with external services, humans, and institutions.
The platform supports multiple operating modes including on-demand sending and reading, notification alerts on arrival, and fully autonomous inbound handling. It integrates with agent frameworks and developer tools such as OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Claude Code, and ChatGPT plugins.
Source-supported ways to use the product
Browser agents can sign up for services independently as OTP codes and verification links land directly in the agent's inbox.
Agents can triage and answer customer support mail in-thread without requiring a traditional ticketing API.
Invoices and receipts forwarded to an agent inbox are parsed into structured JSON data ready for models.
OpenMail offers configurable usage modes that dictate how an AI agent handles incoming and outgoing mail. Developers can select between an on-demand mode where the agent uses email only when explicitly asked, a notify mode that alerts the user on arrival, and a fully autonomous mode where incoming mail is answered without human intervention.
Integration with existing agent frameworks is achieved through CLI commands and channel plugins such as OpenClaw or Hermes Agent. Once configured with an API key, the agent gains a dedicated mailbox capable of waking up upon receiving human messages and replying directly within the same thread.

Answers based on the source-checked product record
You can start by installing the platform channel plugin or CLI command for your agent framework, adding your API key from the console, and assigning a mailbox name.
OpenMail supports three primary usage modes: an on-demand mode, a notification mode that alerts you on new mail arrival, and a fully autonomous mode that answers incoming mail independently.
PDFs, CSVs, images, XLSX, DOCX, and JSON attachments arrive as plain text ready for a prompt so your agent never has to process raw MIME types.
