Alby.email

Alby.email is a desktop and server application for creating and managing multiple, sandboxed AI agents. Users configure each agent with a distinct identity, workspace, and operational parameters, including active hours and language. The software supports various AI engines, including CLI-based models like Claude Code, numerous cloud providers such as Anthropic and OpenAI, and local models via Ollama or LM Studio. Agents interact through channels including email, Signal, Slack, and social media platforms, processing inputs and generating text-based or voice responses. The software is built for developers, technical marketers, and small business owners who require automated, context-specific task execution. A primary use case is creating a dedicated agent for customer support that handles inquiries from email, a website chat widget, and social media direct messages. Another workflow involves deploying a project-specific agent that integrates with Slack to notify team members of repository updates or manage internal documentation requests, operating with its own distinct set of files and permissions.
