Could you build this?
No Operating dedicated telecom infrastructure, provisioning SMS/phone numbers, warmed custom email domains, anti-spam reputation management, and secure vaults requires non-trivial carrier and email deliverability integrations.
What it would actually take: The system requires backend microservices interfacing with telecom providers (e.g., Twilio/Bandwidth) for SMS/calls, specialized inbound/outbound mail servers (Postfix/Haraka or transactional email provider APIs with dedicated IP warming and strict SPF/DKIM/DMARC automation), plus an encrypted secret vault (like HashiCorp Vault). Handling carrier compliance (10DLC registration), deliverability monitoring, and low-latency webhook ingestion requires seasoned telecommunications and email infrastructure engineering.
Discussion
9 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Gmail (manual setup), Disposable email APIs, AgentMail (paid service)
Concerns raised: Ed25519 keypair authentication doesn't prevent abuse—users can generate unlimited keypairs instantly, Privacy policy harvests/stores all data including PII (IP addresses collected from home networks), GitHub repository returns 404 (appears private), SMS provider unclear and virtual numbers commonly flagged for MFA, Infrastructure cost model not transparent (only mentions $10/year domain cost)
Feature requests: Explain SMS provider and whether shared number pool is used, Clarify use case for why agents need their own accounts vs. using user's account, Make privacy policy more explicit about PII collection and storage practices
