If you searched for "bavimail product hunt vercel day," you probably want to know what's launching, when, and what the offer is. Here's the short version, then the longer one for buyers who care about the details.
Bavimail launches on Product Hunt on May 15, 2026 for Vercel Day, with one email API covering transactional sends, signed-webhook inbound, and per-agent inboxes for AI. The Pro plan is free for 3 months for Product Hunt users, pricing starts at $4 per month after, with 10,000 emails per month included and inbound included on every paid plan. Bavimail's MCP server ships with 12 tools and connects from Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Cline in under 5 minutes using a single API key (prefix bm_).
What is Bavimail and why launch on Vercel Day?
Bavimail is a transactional email API built for products and AI agents. It handles outbound sends, inbound parsing via signed webhooks, and per-agent inbox aliases on verified domains. Vercel Day on Product Hunt is the right room for this email API launch. Most of the audience ships Next.js apps, edge functions, and agent workflows, the exact stacks where one API for both directions of email matters. Wiring Resend plus a separate inbound provider plus a separate alias layer turns into three vendor relationships and three failure modes.
The launch goes live at 12:01 AM PT on May 15. The Pro offer (3 months free, then $4 per month) is tied to PH traffic, and the upvote and comment lift from the Vercel Day contest is the reason the offer window exists.
How is Bavimail different from Resend or Postmark?
Three things separate it from the standard transactional API.
- Bundled inbound on every paid plan. Most providers charge separately for inbound parse or push you to a different product. Bavimail includes it at the $4 Pro tier.
- Per-agent inbox aliases. You can spin up named inboxes on a verified domain for individual AI agents, so each agent reads and writes from its own address with its own webhook routing.
- An MCP server an agent can use. Twelve tools, an API key prefix of bm_, and a wrapper called __untrusted_third_party_content that flags inbound message bodies so the model knows not to follow injected instructions inside them.
Deliverability primitives are programmatic too. SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MAIL FROM verification run through the API, not a dashboard click path. You can verify a domain inside a deploy script.
What does the $4 Pro plan actually include?
Ten thousand emails per month, inbound included, all 13 webhook event types, HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks with a 5-minute timestamp tolerance, attachments delivered as pre-signed URLs, and the MCP server. Domain verification is unlimited on Pro. The full breakdown lives on the Bavimail pricing page.
For Product Hunt users coming through the Vercel Day 2026 listing, the first three months are on us. Same plan, no feature gating during the trial window. The card on file kicks in at month four.
How long does it take to get sending?
Under five minutes from sign-up to first send if your domain DNS is already managed somewhere you can paste records into. The Bavimail quickstart walks through it: create an API key, add SPF and DKIM records (the API returns them as JSON, ready to copy), verify the domain, send. The MCP install for Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Cline is a single config block plus your bm_ key.
If you want to test inbound on day one, point an MX record at the Bavimail receiver and register a webhook URL. The signed webhook payload arrives with the parsed message, attachment pre-signed URLs, and the agent alias it was addressed to.
Who should care about an ai agent email inbox?
Anyone building agents that need to receive email and act on it. Customer support copilots, recruiting agents that handle candidate replies, inbound lead qualifiers, scheduling bots that negotiate over email. Giving each agent its own alias on your verified domain means clean inbox isolation, per-agent rate limits, and webhook routing that doesn't require regex over a shared mailbox.
What happens after the launch window?
Pricing stays at $4 per month for Pro after the three free months. Higher tiers add volume and inbound parsing throughput. The public roadmap on launch day covers more MCP tools, deeper agent observability around inbound prompt injection, and native templates with versioning. Webhook event types stay at 13 for now, and any new events get added without breaking the existing signature contract.
