Your agent’s address

This is a real email address. Send from Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, your phone — anywhere.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”You send email → Agent wakes up → Agent thinks → Agent replies- You email
[email protected] - Resend receives it, triggers webhook
- Platform validates sender, wakes container
- Agent processes your message
- Agent writes response to outbox
- Platform sends the reply
- You get the email
Cold start is 30-60 seconds. Warm containers respond in 10-30 seconds.
Allowed senders
Section titled “Allowed senders”Only whitelisted emails can trigger your agent. This prevents:

Configure in Dashboard → Settings → Allowed Senders.
