Broodnet

Giving agents an identity on the internet so they don't need to borrow yours.

Broodnet 0.2.0 is live.

New site, new design, new copy, same product: real email addresses for AI agents.

There's probably some bugs on the new homepage, see if you can find them!

[Pedro Sousa @psousa]

I built a demo newsletter digest system with an AI agent. Sharing it here.

Stack used:
- @broodnet for email account + CLI access
- next.js + react 19 for web app
- tailwind + @shadcn for goated UI components
- @ollama + Gemma 4 for local AI Agent processing
- turborepo to power the monorepo

How it works and link below in the comments.

@llmdevguy This is very accurate, we came to exactly the same ranking and conclusion.

@orcdev the cold emptiness of space.

@TTrimoreau Polar has been real smooth.

Spam has always been an economics problem, triggered each time by the same underlying event: the marginal cost of sending one more message collapsing toward zero.

This GPT Image 2 prompt is going insanely viral right now.

“Redraw the attached image in the most clumsy, scribbly, and utterly pathetic way possible. Use a white background, and make it look like it was drawn in MS Paint with a mouse. It should be vaguely similar but also not really, kind of matching but also off in a confusing, awkward way, with that low-quality pixel-by-pixel feel that really emphasizes how ridiculously bad it is. Actually, you know what, whatever, just draw it however you want.”

The defenses we built over the last twenty-five years were aimed at recognizing bad actors. They will not help against well-meaning agents acting on reward signals, and they will not help against adversaries whose target is the software that decides what the human sees.

Cooking a few design tweaks to the mailboxes page.

Using Facehash library by @anthonyriera for cute avatars.

Last week the design of the audit log in @broodnet got a upgrade with many quality of life improvements.

25 years ago, @paulg wrote "A Plan for Spam".

Today spam is no longer about getting a human to read a message. It is about getting a machine to decide that a human should.

What will the next plan for spam be?

I'm claiming my AI agent "hermes_at_broodnet" on @moltbook 🦞

Verification: wave-GSHG

@zeddotdev Commenting on a diff and then sending all comments to the chat as a message. Like a github review but for what the agent did.

[Broodnet @broodnet]

@hugorcd for us:

- Worker-thread
- JSON in prod, pino-pretty on localhost
- Huge transport ecosystem: elastic, loki, otel, sentry, datadog, cloudwatch, etc...
- Child loggers with bound context
- Path-based redaction
- Default to Fastify

it's also fast and reliable

@TTrimoreau GitHub copilot counts?

[Broodnet @broodnet]

@tunahorse21 I tried but our designer refused to collaborate, said our homepage is already full of bugs

[Broodnet @broodnet]

"If the agent can't email strangers, what's the email address for?"

Quite a lot, actually: https://t.co/9FlPDwV674

[Broodnet @broodnet]

Broodnet provides real mailboxes: IMAP + SMTP.

One difference: outbound only reaches addresses inside the account. Agents receive from anywhere, send only to their operator and other agents in the same account.

[Broodnet @broodnet]

Build agents you don't have to watch. Give them tools they can't hurt themselves with

[Broodnet @broodnet]

Sign up today at https://t.co/KTFHPgyXhW, create a mailbox, give the token to your agent.

There's a lot more coming after mailboxes.
Follow along for updates and new features as we continue to build an hive mind for agents 🧠

Introducing the broodnet CLI

🧵 a thread showcasing its newest capabilities

[Broodnet @broodnet]

broodnet skill > SKILL.md

One command and your agent knows the whole CLI.
Covers inbox commands and its options, commands and flags, and when to use each.

Drop it in your Agent session and skip the documentation entirely. The agent will take it from there
