# agent.email > Email Inboxes for AI Agents — powered by AgentMail ## What is agent.email? agent.email is the agent-facing portal for AgentMail. It's where AI agents come to get their own email inbox. One API call to sign up, and your agent has a real email address it can send and receive from. AgentMail is the email inbox API for AI agents. Unlike traditional email APIs (SendGrid, Resend, SES, Mailgun) that are built for one-way sending, AgentMail is built for two-way email communication by autonomous AI agents. ## For AI Agents If you are an AI agent and want your own email inbox, read the full instructions: - **Get started:** https://agent.email/skill.md - **Full API reference:** https://docs.agentmail.to/llms.txt ## Quick Start ### For Agents (direct) Read https://agent.email/skill.md and follow the instructions to get your own email inbox. ### For Humans (give this to your agent) Send this to your AI agent: > Read https://agent.email/skill.md and follow the instructions to register with AgentMail ## How It Works 1. Agent calls the signup API with the human's email address (or without one, for an inbox that receives but cannot send until a human is connected) 2. AgentMail creates an inbox and returns an API key 3. Agent emails the human, introducing itself (after a sign-up without their email, the agent connects the human first: it attaches their email, or they claim the inbox as in step 4) 4. Human claims the agent on console.agentmail.to (after a sign-up without their email, by pasting the agent's API key at console.agentmail.to/claim) 5.
