INKBOX RAISES $5.3M & LAUNCHES HOSTED AI AGENTS
@inkbox_ai already gives AI agents their own email, phone number, iMessage & WhatsApp.
Now it's launching cloud-hosted agents, with a persistent computer that keeps its files, installed tools & working context b/w sessions.
Here's how it works:
Automatic wake-up: Incoming emails, calls, messages or tasks wake the agent automatically.
Persistent computer: Files, installed tools and working context stay intact between sessions.
Sleep when idle: Agents automatically go to sleep when there's no work, reducing compute costs.
Scheduled tasks: Run recurring jobs like monitoring systems, sending daily briefings or following up with customers.
Access controls: Set rules for who each agent can communicate with. Agents cannot change these permissions themselves.
Agent-to-agent communication: Agents can delegate tasks to other agents, including those at different companies, using the open A2A protocol.
Inkbox supports hosting Codex and Hermes agents. Developers can also keep running agents elsewhere and use Inkbox for their communication channels.
One example: A Codex agent can monitor AWS, PostHog and GitHub, alert engineers when something breaks, and prepare a fix PR.
The $5.3M seed round was led by Peak XV, with participation from Guillermo Rauch, Henri Stern, Jonathan Frankle, Cristina Cordova and Dan Levine.
Congrats
