Inkbox launches hosted AI agents with their own email and messaging channels

Inkbox launches hosted agents that get their own email address and messaging channels, according to Santiago (@svpino), who reports the feature on X. Rohan Paul (@rohanpaul_ai) adds that the agents run on Hermes or Codex with schedules and persistent computers, alongside email, phone, iMessage, WhatsApp and A2A channels.

Inkbox says the agents sleep when idle, so customers do not pay for downtime. Santiago says an agent can wake when an email reply arrives, with the full thread, files and conversation history. Santiago expects builders of customer support agents to find it useful.

Inkbox has raised $5.3M, led by Peak XV Partners, according to the reports.
