Programmable business email for teams and AI agents

Description and use

Venmail offers an API‑centric email platform that scales on storage, not seats, and gives AI agents dedicated identities, inboxes, and message verification, improving security and auditability.

Problem

Business email is expensive, fragmented, and per-seat pricing turns headcount into a tax; AI agents lack dedicated, scoped identities and secure mail handling.

Outcome

Teams pay roughly the same regardless of size, gain compliance and portability, and AI agents receive dedicated, scoped identities with verifiable signatures, improving security and auditability.

Workflow

• 1. Create Venmail account and configure storage (S3, Azure Blob, or self-hosted).
• 2. Install Venmail SDK (npm install @venmail/vsm).
• 3. Generate agent keypair via vvs.generateKeyPair().
• 4. Publish agent public key at /.well-known/venmail-agent/{name} or DNS TXT.
• 5. Sign email with vvs.signMessage() including agentId and privateKey.
• 6. Send email via REST POST to https://m.venmail.io/api/v1/send/message or SDK send method.
• 7. Receiver extracts X-Venmail-* headers, resolves public key, and verifies with vvs.verifyMessage().
• 8. Trust level (VERIFIED, PARTIAL, FAILED, UNKNOWN) is annotated in inbox; no SMTP blocking.

Evidence

Venmail scales on storage, not headcount. Paid plans have no per-seat fees.
