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!
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.
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.

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?
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.

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
