What is an agentic messenger?
An agentic messenger is a messaging app with an AI agent built into it. The agent reads your conversations, writes replies in your voice and follows up, acting on your behalf only as far as you allow. Kanvo is the agentic messenger: one inbox for every app you talk on, an agent that works in it, and a record of every message an agent sends.
Five things an agentic messenger does
A messenger with a chatbot bolted on answers questions. An agentic messenger does the messaging work.
It reads what arrives
Every conversation lands in one inbox — Kanvo's own direct messages and channels, your business accounts on the apps customers use, and your own WhatsApp, Signal and Instagram. The agent reads all of it, so it knows who is waiting and what they asked.
It writes and follows up
It drafts the reply in your voice, catches you up on a long thread, transcribes voice notes, translates, and answers questions about your own conversations. What needs you is ranked so you see it first.
It acts only as far as you let it
By default the agent drafts and waits for your nod. Hand it more and it can send, schedule and follow up on its own, under rules you set, with a human approving whatever you are not ready to hand over.
Other agents can work in it too
Your own agents reach the inbox through Kanvo's MCP server and REST API, with the same permissions the product uses. An app's AI agent can sit in an ordinary thread and answer with cards and buttons.
Every agent message can be proved
When an agent sends on someone's behalf, Kanvo records who authorised it, what it was allowed to say, and whether it said it was AI — at the moment it is sent, which is the only moment that information exists.
