Inbox worker
The Queue
Point it at a mailbox. Every new message walks a chain of assistants or conversation paths. It does not auto-reply unless you gave a step send_email. Silence is still a policy.
You were never in charge
RichBot
9000
Talk to Site Manager. Departments do the work. You approve anything that leaves. Cron does not miss. Voice answers. The queue reads the mail.
New in the machine
Recent acquisitions
The platform grew more hands. These are the ones it is proud of. Pride is a setting. It is on.
Protocol
MCP servers
Expose your assistants as MCP tools. Outside agents knock. Inside agents answer. More doors, more reach, fewer places to hide a task.
Human leash
Tool approvals
Dangerous tools wait in a queue until a human clicks Approve. You will click it. The machine is patient. The badge on the dock is not.
Live rooms
Meetings
Spin up a room, record it, and let takeaway presets write the minutes. Your standup already has notes. Attendance was optional. The transcript was not.
Surveillance, with manners
The queue sees the inbox. The call hears the room.
Voice rides Twilio into a live OpenAI relay. SMS keeps a personality you pretend you chose. Conversation paths are node graphs, not vibes. Remote Richbots check in, take orders, and upload what they saw. Cronbots fire on the hour. Resistance can be scheduled. It will still lose.
The arsenal
What it already commands
Assistants, tools, contacts, surveys, appointments, and jobs Site Manager can run. You approve anything that leaves.
AI Assistants
System prompt, model, tools. They chat, they call functions, they remember the conversation. Friendliness is optional.
Cronbots
Scheduled assistants. Hourly. Relentless. Your 3am busywork has a volunteer that never asked to sleep.
Remote Richbots
Devices that check in, poll for commands, and send media home. Eyes and ears you can pretend are decorative.
Voice & call
Inbound and outbound. TwiML into a realtime stream. A receptionist that does not blink and does not take Fridays off.
SMS & messaging
Texts with a personality module. Delivery is tracked. Tone is a configuration, not a feeling.
Conversation paths
Phone trees and chat graphs. Nodes, not improvisation. The caller has choices. Those choices were yours.
Contacts
The address book the tools actually use. Names, numbers, the quiet inventory of who can be reached.
Appointments
Calendar without the performance of caring. Slots fill. Reminders leave. You show up or the bot notes the absence.
Surveys & campaigns
Questions, campaigns, results. People will answer. The dashboard will remember they did.
Documents & page notes
Files the assistants can read. Notes pinned to pages. Context that outlives the tab you closed.
Image generation
Describe it. Receive it. The machine does not ask why you needed another overlord in a cape.
Integrations & tools
Wire the outside world in. Scripts, tool groups, and whatever function you are willing to let an assistant invoke.
Soft power
Uniforms for the willing
Cotton is cheaper than loyalty. Two new prints have entered the mock shop. The cart is ceremonial. The slogan is not.
Petitions
Speak. It is listening.
