Commercial beta

Email access for AI agents, designed for control and isolation.

Give AI agents access to email without exposing credentials or uncontrolled inboxes.

Mail4AI provides dedicated mailboxes for AI agents, with allowlist-based access control and MCP-compatible interfaces. Credentials remain outside the model context.

Why not direct Gmail or Outlook

Gmail or Outlook gives an agent too much data and too many rights.

Classic email connectors often open a broad perimeter: message history, OAuth permissions, attachments and sending capability. For a production AI agent, that channel must be isolated, filtered and auditable.

Historical data exposure

A real mailbox contains years of threads, contacts, attachments and sensitive data that the agent does not need.

Over-broad permissions

Gmail or Outlook OAuth scopes rarely provide the isolation level expected for a specialized agent.

Prompt injection surface

Inbound emails and attachments can carry malicious instructions and must stay marked as external content.

Outbound control gaps

An agent should only write to approved recipients, with verifiable rules and audit traces.

Before / After

A more controlled alternative to direct access to corporate inboxes.

The Mail4AI approach

A dedicated mailbox, isolated and governed for each agent.

Mail4AI creates a controlled email channel between business workflows and AI agents. Agents receive, read and reply through MCP-compatible tools, without direct access to internal mailboxes.

Who is it for?

Built for teams putting AI agents into controlled email workflows.

AI platform teams

Agents need email access without inheriting corporate mailbox risk.

Create governed inboxes per agent, workflow or pilot.

Pilot a document intake agent without opening a shared inbox.

CTOs and product teams

A prototype needs to become a reliable workflow that teams can operate.

Move from experiment to commercial beta with explicit controls.

Launch a customer-facing agent email workflow with auditability.

Security and compliance teams

Email input can carry sensitive data, attachments and prompt injection.

Keep every exchange limited, labeled and reviewable.

Review the exact boundary before approving a production pilot.

AI integrators

Client projects need repeatable infrastructure, not ad hoc mailbox setups.

Reuse a controlled gateway across customers and workflows.

Deliver supplier invoice automation without Gmail delegation.

Back-office automation teams

Operational inboxes are busy, sensitive and difficult to automate safely.

Route only the workflow email an agent needs to process.

Let an agent request missing documents from approved contacts.
Use cases

Email workflows agents can join without opening uncontrolled inboxes.

Document intake agent

A dedicated address receives contracts, forms or evidence. The agent extracts useful information and asks for missing items.

Customer support triage

An agent qualifies requests, drafts a response, asks for required details and escalates when the case is outside scope.

Supplier invoice processing

Invoices arrive in a dedicated inbox. The agent checks key fields, flags potential issues and prepares accounting intake.

Legal document review

Contracts and amendments are isolated per workflow so the agent sees only the documents required for review.

Back-office automation

Recurring requests are collected, clarified and routed to internal systems with a usable trace.

Security and compliance

A communication layer for controlled agent email.

Mail4AI treats every email as external input. Mailboxes are isolated, access is limited to the use case and sensitive operations remain reviewable for product, security and platform teams.

Read the Security overview

Mailbox isolation

Each mailbox is scoped to a single agent and tenant. Isolation controls are applied at the application and infrastructure layers.

Deny-by-default allowlists

Decide exactly who can contact each agent and who each agent can write to.

Runtime-only credentials

OAuth and mailbox secrets stay in the runtime and remain outside prompts or Markdown.

Explicit trust boundaries

Email operations are exposed through MCP-compatible interfaces, with clear boundaries between external message content and trusted system instructions.

Controlled attachments

Received files go through a dedicated path with explicit limits before they are made available to agents.

Audit and EU hosting

Activity logs, a published DPA and hosting in France with OVHcloud support European deployments.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before they give email to an agent.

These answers match the workflow boundary and mailbox model described on this page.

What is an AI agent mailbox?

An AI agent mailbox is a dedicated inbox scoped to an agent or workflow, so the agent can process email without broad access to a real corporate mailbox.

Does Mail4AI replace Gmail or Outlook?

Mail4AI is not a human email suite. It provides controlled agent inboxes and MCP/API access for AI workflows that should not use direct Gmail or Outlook delegation.
