# Inkbox

> Identity layer for AI agents. Give your agents inboxes, phone numbers, and a secure vault.

Inkbox gives AI agents a persistent identity with a real inbox, phone number, and secure vault, so they can send emails, receive replies, answer calls, store credentials, and manage conversations as a single, consistent entity.

## Capabilities

- **Identities**: a persistent, named agent with unified communication channels
- **Email**: a real email address — send and receive email, manage threads, search inboxes
- **Phone**: a real phone number — make and receive calls, stream audio in real time
- **Vault**: store and manage encrypted credentials, API keys, SSH keys, and secrets with zero-knowledge encryption

## Getting started

Install the SDK:

```
pip install inkbox          # Python
