Haakam, the startup behind AgentMail, unveiled Agent.email, a curl‑based signup flow that lets AI agents create inboxes without human interaction. The system expects agents to hit an endpoint, receive a temporary inbox, and then claim it with a one‑time password. This approach flips the usual browser‑centric registration model.

Agent.email arose from comments on Haakam’s seed launch, where users noted that existing services forbid non‑human sign‑ups. By routing the flow through curl, agents bypass browser checks and receive a restricted mailbox. The human must reply with a one‑time password, after which the agent gains full access and can interact with external mail services.

Current limits tie each agent to one human, capping usage at ten emails per day and rate‑limiting the signup endpoint by IP. Haakam plans many‑to‑one support, reflecting real‑world scenarios where one operator runs multiple bots. They also trimmed CLI output columns and shortened message IDs to aid agent parsing and prevent hallucinations.

Team members Haakam, Michael, and Adi invite the community to debate trust models and the necessity of human approval for agent onboarding. They question whether the restricted‑until‑claimed approach is secure enough and seek guidance on additional safeguards. The discussion will shape how autonomous agents interact with email infrastructure moving forward.
