How to choose
Match the agent to your primary flow: Upstream for daily inbox triage, Turumail or EmailFunnelAI for cold outreach sequences, Migma for ongoing marketing optimization. Check native integrations with your ESP and calendar before committing. Avoid tools that only warm domains or test content if you need active sending and reply handling. Test autonomy limits on your volume—some agents require human approval loops that defeat the purpose.
