The Nylas alternative for AI agents
Nylas connects an agent to a human's existing Gmail or Outlook over OAuth, which is the right tool when the agent must act inside a real person's mailbox. Production means your own verified OAuth app, a CASA security review, token refresh, and a webhook that notifies with IDs so you go fetch the body. MailKite (which we build) gives the agent its own scoped address on a domain you control and pushes the parsed message as JSON. For developers wiring an autonomous email agent.
