Robin

Robin is an email product built around a single promise: an inbox on easy mode, so you can focus on everything else. Instead of leaving you to file, label and triage messages by hand, Robin gives you an email inbox that organises itself. Receipts, bookings and notes are sorted as they arrive, with no folders to babysit. You can use Robin as your signup address, so that login codes reach you while the sales pitch stays behind in the inbox, and you can let invitations flow straight into your Robin calendar where plans get sorted. Robin is also designed to serve agents: an email address for your agent is provided through Robin MCP, and the wider intent stated by the product is that agents should work in the background with the inbox for us, so the inbox is smarter by default. Most people treat an inbox as a container they must continually maintain. Mail arrives in one undifferentiated stream, and the work of deciding what matters — which message is a receipt, which is a booking confirmation, which is a login code, which is a note worth keeping — falls on the person reading it. Robin's founding observation is that this arrangement is backwards. The inbox should be smarter by default, and agents should work in the background with the inbox for us. The stated point of the product is liberating the user from email a bit: reducing the amount of email administration a person has to perform, while still making sure the messages that matter, such as login codes and invitations, actually get through and get used. Robin's first capability is automatic sorting. Receipts, bookings and notes are sorted as they arrive, and the website is explicit that there are no folders to babysit — you are not asked to build rules or maintain a filing structure, because the sorting happens on arrival. The categories named in the content are receipts, bookings and notes, and the Product Hunt description adds that purchases and subscriptions get classified. Because sorting happens as mail lands rather than whenever you get round to it, the inbox you open is already in a workable state; you are reading an organised set of messages rather than performing the organising yourself. Robin also works as the address you hand out when you sign up for things. Using your Robin address for signups means codes get through — sign-in codes and other verification messages reach you instead of being lost in the noise — and the sales pitch stays in the inbox rather than following you around. The site illustrates this with a sign-in code alongside a 20% off code, showing the kind of mail Robin is built to handle. The Product Hunt description adds that Robin gathers all your newsletters like a magazine, an arrangement that keeps recurring reading in one place rather than mixed into the rest of your mail. Invitations and scheduling are handled next. Invites land in your Robin calendar, so an invitation does not have to be manually translated into a plan. Robin also provides a booking page that you can share, letting other people pick a time. The combination means that the two halves of making plans — receiving the invitation and agreeing on when to meet — are covered: invitations arrive in the calendar automatically, and when someone needs to find a slot they use your booking page rather than trading messages about availability. The site's example shows a calendar view and a confirmed plan such as coffee at 10:30. Robin MCP gives your agent an inbox to receive mail, read messages and prepare replies. The content shows this as functions such as list_messages() returning three emails and save_reply_preview(...) saving a draft, so the agent reads the inbox and prepares a reply rather than sending one unsupervised. The website is explicit about the control model: you keep the keys. Access to MCP is currently an invitation-only beta, and the site links to a guide for agents explaining how to use it. MCP access is listed as a Premium feature, described as access by invitation. Getting started with Robin follows a described path. You get your Robin address by confirming your email, and then you forward your first email to Robin. The signup flow asks for your email and offers to continue with email, then asks you to verify your email and choose a plan, with no charge until checkout. From there, Robin can be used either as the address you sign up with or as a destination you forward your mail to; the Product Hunt description frames this as using Robin for signups or forwarding your mail. Usage is metered in emails received and emails sent. Sends count per recipient, while Robin's own verification messages, code forwards and briefings to you are excluded from counting. The website sets out clearly how limits behave. Rejected spam, duplicate deliveries and rereading mail do not count as incoming emails. When you reach your limit, new receiving or sending pauses until the next month, and Robin states there are no surprise charges; top-ups are not available yet. One account shares its allowance across all inboxes, and limits reset monthly in UTC. This matters because the value of an organised inbox depends on it being dependable: the metering described is arranged so that routine activity such as spam rejection and re-reading your own mail does not consume your allowance. The outcome Robin aims at is an inbox that requires less of you. Sorting on arrival means less filing. Using a Robin address for signups means verification codes still reach you while promotional mail is kept to one side. Invitations landing in the calendar mean plans are made with less back-and-forth. An agent with an inbox and MCP tools can read mail and prepare replies in the background, with you holding the keys. Taken together, these are the elements of the promise: mail, codes and plans handled for you, so you can focus on everything else. Robin is offered in three plans. Starter costs $5 per month and includes one inbox with a Robin address, mail sorted, login codes delivered, and calendar and bookings; it includes 600 emails received and 100 emails sent each month. Premium costs $10 per month and includes three inboxes, the ability to choose your address name, and MCP access by invitation; it includes 6,000 emails received and 900 emails sent each month. Startup is priced by conversation — Let's talk — for more inboxes, room for more mail and an inbox for every job, sized around you. The Startup request form asks for estimated inboxes, received per month and sent per month, and optionally what you will use Robin for. Robin's value proposition is straightforward: mail, codes and plans for you, through an inbox on easy mode and an email address for your agent. Sorting, a signup address, a calendar with a booking page and MCP access for agents are the pieces, and together they aim at liberating you from email a bit so you can focus on everything else.
