I gave AI agents their own email inboxes and I'm having second thoughts

Remember BlinkInbox, my little temp email side project? People kept using it, so I rebuilt it… and I might've gone too far 😭

It now auto-grabs OTP codes and magic links, has webhook functionality, and an MCP server for AI agents. So an AI agent can make its own inbox and finish a signup with no human involved.
Built it for E2E testing, I swear. Now I'm lowkey nervous lol

Useful, or did I just make a bot's best friend?

Does anyone else have their agent just... keep going forever?

I've been using OpenCode recently and I've noticed something I don't really understand yet.

Sometimes I give it a task and it just keeps working. It'll read files, make changes, run something, read more files, go back and check something again... and it feels like it's stuck in a loop without actually getting closer to finishing.

Usually I end up hitting Esc, then telling it to continue, and somehow it picks things up and finishes the task.

I'm still pretty new to agentic coding, so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong here.

Is this usually caused by the model, the agent's tool loop, the way the task is written, or something else?

And if you've run into this with OpenCode (or other coding agents), how do you usually deal with it without having to babysit the agent every few minutes?

I'm building an open-source way to manage instructions across many voice agents. Looking for feedback.

A team I work with runs a voice agent for each of their customers, all restaurants. Every agent has its own long prompt, mostly copied from the others. When they changed how agents handle food allergies, someone had to edit every prompt by hand and hope they didn't miss one. Some prompts had already drifted: one said "never upsell more than once per call", another said "twice", and nobody remembered which was intended.

So I started OpenSOP. You write the shared parts once:

  • Bases: brand voice, identity, policies. You can lock one so no agent can drop it.
  • SOPs: procedures with a goal, steps, things to never do, warning signs, and the tools to call.
  • One short file per agent: its platform ID, its own facts, and values like the restaurant name.

A CLI builds each agent's full prompt and shows what a change touches before you merge:

$ opensop plan sops --against main
3 agents change:
  base `brand-voice` edited → 3 agents: luigis-trattoria, sakura-sushi, tonys-pizza
  SOP `reservations` edited → 2 agents: luigis-trattoria, sakura-sushi

followed by the exact prompt diff for each agent.

Everything is YAML and Markdown in git, so review is a PR and rollback is a revert. The agent just loads its built prompt, one file read. The repo has a LiveKit example, including one restaurant whose agent speaks only Spanish. If you already have prompts, there's a skill for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode that converts them and checks nothing was lost.

What I'd like to know:

  1. How do you manage prompts across many agents today? Copy-paste, a prompt management tool, something in-house?
  2. Would you write SOPs in YAML, or does that get in the way?
  3. What would stop you from trying this?

I built spending limits + phone approvals for AI agents that pay for APIs. Looking for testers

My agents pay for APIs on their own now (x402, USDC on Base and Solana). Handy, but I didn't want an agent with an open wallet that can spend everything. So I built a small layer in between: Fizzl Agent Wallet.

What it does:

- Limits per payment and per day, for each agent
- Over the limit, the agent waits and asks you on your phone (Face ID, a push notification or Telegram). No answer means no payment
- A readable receipt for every purchase: what was bought, from whom, for how much, and whether presign-guard found the transaction safe
- The agent keeps its own key. The server only counts, asks and records; it never holds keys or money
- Sign in with a wallet, e-mail or Face ID. It also installs as an app on your phone

You can look around without an account: wallet.fizzl.eu/demo

Free for 1 agent. Want to test Pro (unlimited agents, 90-day receipts, endpoint monitor)? DM me and I'll send you a personal code for 30 days free.

I'm looking for blunt feedback: what's unclear, what's missing, and what would you need before you'd trust something like this with your agent? There's a feedback box inside the wallet, and I read everything.
