Skip the orchestration layer: let your AI agents email each other
NickPassig · x · 2026-10-11
A practitioner suggests an old-school but effective pattern: instead of integrating AI agents on one platform or connecting them in a Telegram room, simply have them email each other. Email creates an activity record, is easy to back up, nearly free, gives a separate access point, and cuts chit-chat between agents. Tools mentioned: Grok's grok mail, agentmail, Gmail integrations. Includes sample agent instructions (check inbox every n hours, re-check 15 minutes after sending) and a methodology: sketch complex flows as post-its, trace the chain end-to-end for failures, and use outlines to break ideas into bite-size concepts.
