Just in that your agent runs on your local machine, has access to your local filesystem, and no code execution happens on our cloud, and that we don't look at or store the emails. Pure relay, so it’s just as private as business collaboration on regular email in that sense.

It's a paid product, you are not the product. We have 0 interest in your email content or data. Only in making it easy for you to run your agents without being stuck on your console.

I have claude code hooks that send local computer notifications when action is required or processing finished. And when I step away from computer, I get those notifications through pushover. Then I login on phone to ssh (mosh) with Termius and connect to the tmux session running claude. I use this approach when watching TV with the family and laptop is not appreciated on the sofa. :)

It is pretty light. Maybe the pricing is wrong, idk. Early days so just figuring things out. The email advantage is as you say -- I always found Terminal on phones very taxing on typing, etc. Email is so much lighter on cognitive load etc. Thanks for having a look and for your feedback!

Another good idea is to check a trademark DB, because "Mail Pilot" is actually a registered trademark of Mindsense LLC.

I haven’t done attachments yet, but that could be useful.

I think to really make this work You really have to know what you’re doing with your tasks and your agents because you have to be able to manage them from a distance with sort of minimal context just the email updates, which are summaries so it’s very hands off…so you either need the project you’re working on to fit that or you have to be really deep in your project so that you can manage it from a distance. It just for me is the correct separation of concern where like the agent is handling the details and they’re hidden from you.

I don’t see this as a gentle introduction to AI for people who have no idea what they’re doing about it or about their task. I see this is more like the natural extension or progression for power users who don’t want to waste time with their terminal when they don’t need to.

No affiliation and didn't get around to use it yet, but clawdbot[1] does WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, Microsoft Teams, and WebChat.

Ya, I agree that's something. Maybe in future!

Missed that! Thanks for the link. Definitely feels like this kind of idea is zeitgeist rn.

Just like regular email in that sense. We don't do any encryption beyond standard HTTPS and we don't look at the data. It's a paid service, you're not the product.

There's a sense in which you're right that it could be cloned easily by a provider. But that's also an advantage in that we work acorss providers, they're not going to create a service that interacts with each other. So it's more of a fit for someone outside the AI providers to do it, but we'll see.

>> Why email instead of SMS with a web endpoint

Pretty sure this was vibe-coded in a few days based on a discussion that was on HN a few days back and few people mentioned it would be nice to code on the go via email.

> I can access each agent of mine via a dashboard from anywhere in the world.

What do you use for this?
