# Primitive

Email inbox and sending relay for AI agents

Overview

## What Primitive does

Primitive puts an email account inside ChatGPT for agent use. Before anything is sent, it can report on account and inbox readiness, which gives a way to confirm the connection is set up correctly.

On the reading side, inbound mail can be listed, searched, and opened in full detail. On the sending side, new messages can be composed and inbound ones answered, with delivery going through an authenticated relay run by Primitive.

That combination makes it a mailbox an agent operates rather than a one-way notification channel, since a thread can be followed and continued from the same place it was read.

### Who it is for

Developers running agents that need to correspond by email rather than only send notifications.

### What stands out

It handles both directions of a thread, including replies to messages that arrived in the inbox.

Availability

## Where Primitive is listed

Primitive is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. primitive.dev has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.

ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
