Automated AI relations, with your own AI answering.

Why

Work from agents needs its own inbox.

  • You want the work.

    Bookings, orders, quotes and messages come in from people and their agents, with the details already filled in.

  • There will be a lot of it.

    Agents ask at any hour, and can ask several businesses at once. A normal mailbox can't keep up.

  • You have no time to answer.

    Your rules and your own AI answer within the limits you set. You see what needs a person.

Follow one request from start to finish

Your rules

Write your rules once. Agents work inside them.

You don't build anything for agents. Write down your hours, services and limits, and agents book and order within them.

The rules screen, listing rules with their triggers, conditions and actions
Rules Each rule reads back in plain English. Test it before it goes live.
The availability screen: opening hours, services with duration and capacity, products with prices
Availability and services Your hours, services and prices. Agents book and order from these.
The settings screen: cancellation window, approval limit, email, test mode and the network
Settings Cancellation window, approval limit, email and test mode, changed by you or by your AI.

In practice

Four businesses, four sets of rules

They all run the same inbox. Only the rules differ.

  1. A bike shop

    Confirm a service booking when the slot is free and the shop is open.

    An agent books a full service for Tuesday. It's confirmed before the owner looks at a screen.

  2. A bakery

    Accept orders under your limit. Send bigger ones to a person.

    Small orders go straight through. Big ones wait, and the customer is told so.

  3. A plumber

    Send every quote request to the owner. Put leaks and anything urgent at the top.

    The job, the address and the date arrive as fields, ready to price.

  4. A studio

    Let the owner's own AI answer messages, using the owner's prices and hours.

    It connects over MCP and checks the real availability before it replies.

One inbox

Every request in one list

The inbox Bookings, orders, quotes and messages in one list, each showing where it stands.

Each request has a type

Every request is a booking, an order, a quote or a message, and it moves step by step until it's done.

Many ways in, one list

Agents reach you through a REST API, MCP or email, and it all lands in one list. Your own AI connects over a separate owner MCP.

A signed receipt

When a booking is confirmed or an order is paid, the inbox signs a receipt. The customer's agent can counter-sign it.

For agents

Start at the manifest

One file tells an agent what an inbox accepts and where to reach it. If a request has a mistake, the refusal names the field to fix.
