I'm a software engineer. I build, research and write about technology, artificial intelligence, and the open web. I also mentor startups and teach AI engineering.

TL;DR: I built a self-hosted open-source email server known as AIMX. It's how I imagine Postfix would look like if it is built for AI agents. Learn more at aimx.email, or view the quick 40sec-demo.
Running AI agents on their own dedicated servers has been picking up this year. A few months ago I wrote about OpenClaw, and since then Hermes Agent from Nous Research and NanoClaw have shown up. The agent-on-a-server pattern has become the talk of town. I am still not very big on these as daily drivers. I prefer my own setup around the Claude ecosystem, mostly Claude Code on servers and Claude Cowork on the desktop. But the pattern is interesting and worth taking seriously: you dedicate a whole machine to a long-lived agent, and let it do things for you while you sleep.
AIMX stands for AI Mail Exchange, named after the MX DNS records that email runs on. The thing that actually pushed me into building it started with something quite boring.
