Deploy a self-hosted email client on Cloudflare that uses an AI agent to read your inbox, search conversations, and draft replies.

The gist

Agentic Inbox is an open-source, self-hosted email client developed by Cloudflare. It allows users to send, receive, and manage emails through a web interface running entirely on their own Cloudflare account. The core feature is a built-in AI agent that can read the inbox, search conversations, and automatically draft replies to incoming messages, aiming to streamline email management.

What it does

  • Send and receive emails with a rich text composer, threading, and folder organization.
  • Use a built-in AI agent to read your inbox, search conversations, and draft replies.
  • Automatically generate draft replies for new inbound emails for user review.
  • Isolate each mailbox in its own durable object with a SQLite database.
  • Store email attachments securely in a Cloudflare R2 bucket.

How it works

Architecture Diagram
Agentic Inbox Architecture Diagram

Agentic Inbox is a self-hosted application deployed to a user's Cloudflare account. It uses Cloudflare Workers, Email Routing, R2 storage, and Durable Objects to function as a complete email client. Users interact with a web interface to manage mail and prompt the AI agent. The software is open-source, and costs are based on the user's consumption of Cloudflare services.

Best for

This tool is best for developers and Cloudflare users who want to deploy their own private, AI-powered email client for managing a custom domain's email addresses.

Watch out for

The application lacks per-mailbox authorization. Any user who can authenticate via the single Cloudflare Access policy can access all mailboxes managed by the instance.
