Examples
Agents with a real email address, each one run for real, with the mail they sent in the README.
Every example in UseCarly/carlyemail-examples was run for real, and its README quotes the mail. Clone one, fill in two keys, and you have an agent with an address.
| What it does | Shows off | |
|---|---|---|
| Coding agent | Email it a task about a repository. It clones, makes the change on a branch, opens a pull request, and replies with the link. Reply on the thread and it resumes the same session. Built on the Claude Agent SDK. | A shell behind an address, made safe by code; a thread as a session |
| Support desk | Answers support mail from the product's own docs, citing the page. Hands the rest to a person with a summary, tells the customer who has it, nudges the person a day later, and relays their answer back. Labels every thread. | Triage you can see in the inbox; escalation that does not die; a prompt injection handled |
| Verification codes | An address your agent signs up for things with. The site emails a code; wait_for_code() hands it back. Sixty lines, no model. |
Agents that can complete a sign-up |
The wiring
frameworks/ |
The smallest useful email agent on the OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain and the Claude Agent SDK — over hosted MCP, no tool wrappers. |
email-claude/ |
You write, Claude answers. No tools, no persona. |
sandbox-assistant/ |
Email it a task; a Claude agent with a shell does it in Anthropic's cloud and replies. |
replit-email-agent/ |
The same, one click, with the public URL problem solved for you. |
Running one
git clone https://github.com/UseCarly/carlyemail-examples
cd carlyemail-examples/support-desk
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env # a model key, a CarlyEmail key, an inbox
python agent.py # one pass over the inbox
An inbox and a key come from sign-up. Each example's
webhook.py runs the same pass when mail arrives — see
receiving mail for registering one.
