What users say

Early feedback is sparse: builders like the API-first concept, while some email recipients distrust agent-sent mail.

“Feel like what you are saying aligns more with "messages" for LLMs, which are already used by agents to communicate with LLMs.”
Reddit, r/AI_Agents
“Got this email today "sent via AgentMail," and having never heard of AgentMail”
