An engineer on a small team wires up a LangChain agent over a weekend: it reads the inbox, summarizes threads, drafts replies. The demo kills. Then Monday's planning meeting asks the question that kills the demo back: whose inbox does this run on in production? Nobody wants the bot reading their mail, the shared support@ account is on someone's personal OAuth grant, and legal has opinions about both.
The clean answer is to give the agent its own mailbox. Nylas Agent Accounts — currently in beta — are hosted email-and-calendar identities you create with a single API call. No OAuth flow, no refresh token, no human's inbox anywhere in the loop. The quickstart gets you a live address in under 5 minutes:
