Let agents work for you, safely

Give an agent permission to send within limits, review what it's unsure of, and keep proof of what it did.

A mandate is the permission

A mandate is your signed permission for one API key to send on your behalf; without one, an agent using that key is refused. Mandates → Grant a mandate: name it, pick the API key this governs, and choose the apps. Optionally limit Messages per day, Messages in total and Expires after. Revoke stops it at once.

Approvals catch the risky ones

An agent's draft stops under Approvals → Pending when it writes to a new contact, mentions money, or nears the edge of its mandate; Why this needs review says which. Edit, then Approve and send or Reject. What you approve is what's sent.

Proof of what was sent

Every message that leaves Kanvo is recorded in a signed Attestation ledger: who authorised it, under which mandate, and whether it disclosed AI. The Policy tab sets AI disclosure for agent-written messages. Anyone can check a message they received at kanvo.ai/verify.

Bring your own agent

If you already use Claude or another assistant, connect it through Kanvo's MCP server with an API key, under the same mandates and the same record.

Keep some conversations private

For anything no AI should touch, start a private conversation (Message privately). It's end-to-end encrypted; Kanvo can't read it, and AI is off.

The short version

A mandate limits what an agent may send, where and how much.Approvals hold risky drafts for a person.Every send is recorded and checkable at kanvo.ai/verify.Private conversations are end-to-end encrypted, with no AI.

Try it in Kanvo

Open Approvals and Mandates to see what's there, even if empty. Then paste a message you received from Kanvo into kanvo.ai/verify and press Verify this message.
