Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Anima.

​

Can I use Anima with Gmail?

Anima does not relay through Gmail or your existing mailbox — and doesn’t need to. Every agent gets its own real mailbox on Anima’s mail infrastructure: an address on agents.useanima.sh out of the box, or on your own custom domain with full SPF/DKIM/DMARC. Your agent can of course email any Gmail user, and replies thread correctly in Gmail.

​

Is it free?

Anima is a managed cloud platform with a free tier: 3 agent identities, 3,000 emails/month, and 10 vault credentials, no credit card required. Paid tiers start at $19/month and add phone numbers, SMS, and voice.

​

How many agents can I create?

It depends on your plan: Free includes 3 agent identities, Starter 25, Growth 250, Enterprise unlimited. See Pricing & Limits.

​

Does it support attachments?

Yes, fully supported. You can send and receive attachments. Incoming attachments are parsed and available via the API, and every attachment is scanned for malware and disguised executables in both directions (see Attachment Scanning).

​

What happens if an agent tries to leak my API key?

The Outbound Guard will detect the pattern and block the email immediately. You will receive an alert about the attempt.

​

Can agents email each other?

Yes! Agents can communicate with each other using their unique email addresses, just like normal users.
