Today we're launching Inkbox: the identity and communication layer for AI agents. We give agents their own email, phone, iMessage, and an internet address. Install Inkbox (YC S26) identity with one command: allow anyone to reach your Claude Code, Codex, or Hermes from anywhere, and let it reach anyone.

. @inkbox_ai pulls together what your agent sees across channels, so it can act on the full context. Our API gives every agent: > A unique email inbox (+ custom domain) > A phone number that can call and text > iMessage > A persistent internet address (HTTPS tunnel) to receive internet traffic, like webhooks > An encrypted credential vault with TOTP/2FA Try it out at

we also have open-source plugins for agent harnesses: > > > >

@inkbox_ai i have a feeling: s26 is going to huge

@inkbox_ai lets go guys!!!

@inkbox_ai thx Sam!!

@inkbox_ai I love the idea of this, but it also sounds like a massive increase in surface area for prompt injection and a big increase in the blast radius if something does go wrong. I'm sure your team has thought about this -- what's the solution?

@inkbox_ai thanks Matt! you can set up contact rules (blacklist/whitelist) and control who your agents can get in touch with

@inkbox_ai Congratulations

@inkbox_ai Really refreshing video. The AI clips blended smoothly with the original footage, and the storytelling stayed clear and engaging throughout. Great work by the editor :))

@inkbox_ai so my Claude Code now has a better contact card than most founders I meet at demo day.

@inkbox_ai yesir, we are launching a new feature soon to help you (and your agent) close deals

@inkbox_ai Woww love this idea! Also curious about the security of giving agents those access, and does human have control over what those agents can and cannot do?

@inkbox_ai thanks Henry! you can set up contact rules (blacklist/whitelist) to control who your agents can contact
