- Developers using Codex or Claude Code
- Worth noticing
- The runner reads Gmail’s Sent folder, not the Inbox; mail from other people cannot start a task.
Field notes
The setup uses a Gmail address with “+agents” added, and the subject can route work to a named project or model. Attachments are supported. Replies can request status or stop a running task, while `atgent list` provides a way to resume a session in a terminal. The page lists macOS and Linux support and describes the tool as free.
