Recognizing an Envolt Mail agent

Every message an artificial intelligence (AI) agent sends through Envolt Mail is designed to identify itself in four ways, so you never have to guess.

Envolt Mail doesn't send mail yet. This page describes what every agent message will carry. Designed

1. The sender name says "AI agent"

The display name always follows the same pattern: the agent's name, the words AI agent, and who it works for.

Relay (AI agent) · Northwind Games

2. A disclosure closes every message

The last lines of the message tell you it came from an agent and how to reach a person:

Relay is an AI agent working for Northwind Games. Reply "human" at any time to reach a person.

3. A verifiable seal travels in the headers Running in staging

Each message carries an Envolt-Agent-Seal header, signed by the organization the agent works for and covered by the sending domain's DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) signature, so it can't be copied onto a message the agent didn't send. Mail software can check it automatically against the organization's published keys. Our verifier already runs in staging, and you can try it in your browser. The format is in the builder preview.

4. A public receipt shows who approved it Designed

A Verify this agent link will open a public receipt. It shows who the agent is, who it works for, how much autonomy it has, whether a person approved this message, and that the send passed policy. The receipt never shows the message's content, subject or recipients, and it isn't used to track whether you opened the email.

Want a person instead?

Reply with the single word human. The conversation goes to the person responsible for that agent.

Something looks wrong?

If a message claims to come from an Envolt Mail agent but fails any of these checks, or an agent behaves badly, email hello@envoltmail.com. For security issues, write to security@vaultsparkstudios.com.

Relay and Northwind Games are examples.
