Trustgate for Agents
Set your boundaries once; let your AI agents run with confidence and only ping you when something actually matters.
non-technical adults using ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini agents for personal tasks like email, calendar, and shopping
- Plain-language rule builder ("never share my contacts", "always ask before sending mail to my boss")
- Risk-graded prompts that only interrupt for genuinely consequential actions
- Pre-authorization for trusted patterns (recurring refills, calendar edits within business hours)
- Weekly digest showing what your agents did and why in human-readable language
AI agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are increasingly taking real-world actions on users' behalf, but permission UX is either nonexistent or buried in developer docs.
OpenAI's ChatGPT agent launch confirms real-world action-taking is arriving for consumers, and Anthropic's research explicitly studies 'how users maintain oversight' — but mass adoption of autonomous consumer agents is still nascent, mostly bundled into $20/mo Pro tiers.Introducing ChatGPT agent: bridging research and action ↗Measuring AI agent autonomy in practice ↗
Existing players (WorkOS, Codebridge, Kontext, CloudRadix NanoClaw, EM360Tech governance) target enterprise/developers; the Janus paper is academic; no clear consumer-facing 'permission/boundary' app for ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini surfaced.AI agent access control: How to manage permissions safely ↗AI Governance for ChatGPT Agents ↗Cross-App AI Agent Approval Dialogs: 2026 Governance Pattern ↗
Enterprise access-control tools sell to companies; for non-technical consumers, willingness to pay for a meta-layer over agents they already pay $20/mo for is unproven and likely small — would have to ride freemium or bundle.AI agent access control: How to manage permissions safely ↗Approval, Consent, and Control Loops for AI Agents ↗
Agent autonomy is a documented, intensifying trend across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google; oversight/permission is recognized as a core unsolved UX problem with staying power as capabilities grow.Measuring AI agent autonomy in practice ↗AI Governance for ChatGPT Agents ↗
ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini agents are closed platforms with no first-class interception API; a consumer guardrail app would require browser-extension workarounds, screen-scraping approvals, or platform partnerships — non-trivial and platform-fragile.Introducing ChatGPT agent: bridging research and action ↗AI Agent Tool Permissions: Runtime Access Control ↗
