## Working on now

- Building AgentMail as an email and identity layer for AI agents: programmatic inbox creation, sending, receiving, storage, search, and human-manageable controls.
- Serving developers and enterprise teams whose agents handle supply-chain coordination, loan-collection follow-ups, customer support, procurement, and other work over email.
- Expanding the platform and engineering team after the $6 million seed round, while accelerating developer and agent adoption.
- Launching enterprise Bring Your Own Cloud through AgentMail Outposts; AWS is supported, with more clouds planned, keeping email data inside a customer’s cloud.
- Partnering with Telnyx so agents signing up there can receive a Telnyx Agent Inbox powered by AgentMail.
- Optimizing the product for agents that discover, evaluate, sign up for, and use AgentMail autonomously; the company also launched a CLI in response to that behavior.
- Growing self-serve monetization through pay-as-you-go capacity for inboxes, custom domains, and monthly sends.

## Summary

Haakam Aujla is the co-founder and CEO of AgentMail, a startup providing an API-driven email platform designed specifically for AI agents to send, receive, and manage emails [1][2]. He co-founded the company in February 2025 alongside peers while at the University of Michigan, from which he graduated in May 2025 [1][3]. Prior to AgentMail, Aujla gained experience as a quantitative researcher and trader intern at Optiver and held engineering internships at Amazon and Makara [3]. Aujla frequently discusses the future of autonomous agents as "first-class citizens" of the internet that require email for identity and software access [1][2]. He has been featured on podcasts such as Built to Ship and interviewed by General Catalyst, where he details the company's evolution from a failed dropshipping automation project into an infrastructure provider for agent-to-agent and agent-to-human communication [1][4]. He emphasizes that AgentMail addresses the limitations of traditional email providers like Gmail, which are not built for programmatic, high-volume agent usage [1][2].
