Pizza Bot
An email-style inbox for AI agents that work while you're not watching
What it is
Pizza Bot is a free, open-source inbox for AI agents that AWS quietly ran internally for over 2,000 employees before releasing it under Apache 2.0 in September 2026. The idea is simple and it works: instead of babysitting a chat window, you send an agent off to do something and it lands back in an inbox, complete with unread results and anything that needs your approval. It runs on your own machine, and you choose the model behind it: Anthropic, Bedrock, Gemini, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or a local Ollama model if you'd rather pay nothing at all.

What you get free vs paid
Verdict
Pros
- Apache 2.0 licensed and completely free, with no subscription or seat fee attached to the software itself
- Works with almost any model provider (Anthropic, Bedrock, Gemini, OpenAI, OpenRouter) plus fully local models through Ollama, so you can run it at zero marginal cost
- All data stays in a local folder you control (threads, memories, checkpoints, logs), which matters if you don't want agent activity sitting on someone else's server
- Battle-tested internally by more than 2,000 Amazon employees before the public release, a rare amount of real usage for a brand-new open-source project
- Supports Model Context Protocol servers and Anthropic's Agent Skills convention, including compatibility with Claude Code's .mcp.json
Cons
- It's a community project, not an AWS product, so there's no official support line or SLA if something breaks
- Ships with fewer ready-made skills than the internal Amazon version had, so you'll be writing your own SKILL.md files for anything specialized
- No hosted option: you're responsible for running, updating, and backing up your own instance
- Setup assumes you're comfortable with a terminal and configuring API keys, so it's not aimed at non-technical users
Worth the half hour of setup if you want a self-hosted, provider-agnostic way to run agents in the background without a subscription, but go in expecting a community project, not a polished AWS product with someone to call when it breaks.
