An AI Email Bot is an agent that lives behind a real email address — like support@yourcompany.com — and replies to incoming messages on your behalf. Instead of routing customers to a chat widget or a help center, the agent meets them in the channel they already use 30 times a day: their inbox.
Pickaxe Email Bots are full conversational agents, not glorified autoresponders. They thread, they remember context across replies, they read attachments, they can take actions in your other tools (HubSpot, Linear, Stripe, Notion), and they hand off to a human teammate when confidence drops or a sensitive keyword appears.
Setup is straightforward: build your agent in the Pickaxe builder, ground it on your knowledge base, and Pickaxe provisions a real, authenticated email address. Deliverability is handled — SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configured on our side — so your replies land in the inbox, not the spam folder. No DNS records to wrangle, no email infrastructure to manage.
Email Bots are ideal for support inboxes, sales-qualification at scale, weekly client check-ins, recurring concierge workflows, and any case where customers prefer email to a chat widget. Pair with Pickaxe's Slack, WhatsApp, or embed deployments for a true omni-channel agent that uses the same brain everywhere.
