A paid device or service for sending and receiving mail, which my LLM/agent/server can reach over an API like /send-letter which my system could call that would send a physical letter with stamp through the actual mail etc.

And another one where I can set up a callback for received mail, where scans of the content would be sent. If a humanoid robot has actually done this and is available and would really work that would count, too. Ie just buy an Optimus and tell it to send letters which the printer prints, show it stamps and the mailbox, and also how to use the scanner. It'd be quite a scene. Forget the "go to a random house and figure out the coffee maker" problem: if Optimus can interact with a physical printer proficiently, it's over.

Another way to do it would be to replace my mailbox (which is just a slot in the garage door) with an input to a sort of scanner/shredder/box thing which somehow sophisticatedly deep scans incoming mail and trashes after scanning and uploading.

Another way would be for the usgov / DOGE / other to just offer this. Mail over internet via some device which takes in PDFs and outputs PDFs, but addressing is done via US Postal Address rather than internet protocol/email/etc.

It can be at home or an online service

US mail as an API

Rationale:

LLMs are very good at designing FOIA requests. What if they could send them automatically?

This deep research report goes on quite a while with exact templates on what to send to get all public data about an incident in town

LLM journalists could just do this about whatever they like

@patio11 you've mentioned this already, but when I saw how easily deep research can just generate these, man.
