Can AI agents manage a shared inbox?

Yes. Agents read each incoming email, classify it, attach it to the right account, case or record, assign an owner and draft the next reply. A sales team used this to turn email into a managed pipeline, and recruiting firms use it for intake, submittals, interview scheduling and client updates.

Do the agents send emails on their own?

No. Agents draft replies, and a person approves anything that goes to a client or out of the company. In the accounting firm workflow every client-facing action waits on a person, recruiters approve everything a client or candidate sees, and investment firm partners approve everything that leaves the firm.

Which email and business tools does it work with?

Agents read email from connected accounts such as Outlook and work alongside the tools your team already uses, including HubSpot, Salesforce, Attio, Pipedrive, Stripe, Mailchimp and Notion. Kylon connects to 3,000+ tools through connected accounts, plus anything with an API, so replies are drafted with the full record in view.

Where should a team start?

Start with the inbox that has the most repeat follow-up, such as an accounting firm chasing client documents. Requests and replies are similar each time, status lives in several systems and the work is easy to measure. Agents track what is missing, draft the reminder and update the record, and a person approves each message.
