Customer
“I was charged twice this month — can you fix this tonight? I need it sorted.”
Agent draft · in your tone
Hi Priya — you're right, there was a duplicate charge on the 3rd. I've refunded $49 to your card (3–5 days) and added a note to your account. Anything else I can sort tonight?
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

Prepared and waiting on your approval
Outside the agent's confidence — your call
Approve before it sends.
Every draft lands in a review queue. You approve, edit, or reject — the agent never acts on its own unless you explicitly turn that on for a workflow you trust.
Every action, with the reasoning attached.
Each step the agent takes is logged with what it did, why it did it, and which app it touched. Audit-ready, so security and compliance can sign off without backfilling.
