Inkbox AI raised $5.3M led by Peak XV Partners, with angels including Guillermo Rauch and Henri Stern, and launched hosted agents: each AI agent gets its own email, phone, iMessage and WhatsApp, running next to its communication channels so it never misses a reply and sleeps when idle so you don't pay for downtime. Four months after its YC launch, the company has processed millions of messages for AI agents.
