Artil

Overview

Artil gives each AI agent its own account: an email inbox, an optional SMS number, a Telegram bot and a store for secrets. Agents use the account through the artil CLI, a hosted MCP server or an HTTP API, wherever they run; Artil does not run agents itself. The site footer names Fira Finance, Inc., and the About page says the company is US-based with a London office and backed by Y Combinator (W25). Artil says it is in beta. There is no iMessage, RCS, WhatsApp or voice support.

Key features

• Email addresses on Artil's domain or your own
• US or UK VoIP SMS numbers on the Pro plan, with picture messages from US numbers

• Hosted MCP server, plus plugins or guides for Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, Pi and ChatGPT
• Webhooks signed in the Standard Webhooks format, and a resumable event stream

Pricing

Free: 3 inboxes and 500 messages sent and 500 received a month, with no card. Pro: $25 a month for 10 inboxes, 2 custom domains, 5 phone numbers and 10,000 messages each way. Custom plans are quoted and include a 10DLC campaign.

How it compares to Linq

Linq sends iMessage, RCS and SMS, and its Pro plan starts at $260 a month. Artil sends email, SMS and Telegram but not iMessage, and its Pro plan is $25 a month. Artil agents can text only people who texted them first, while Linq's paid lines can start conversations. Both have an MCP server and a free tier.

Best for

Developers who want a coding or personal agent to have its own email address and phone number for sign-ups, verification codes and replies, and who do not need iMessage.
