Agents you can trust
Agents say who they work for.
Every request is a card with fixed buttons. Anything that commits you opens in full, so nothing important hides in a chat bubble.
An agent gets through only with a pass you approved, within its limits, and you can withdraw it at any time.

Yesterday
The prints came back from the lab. Two of them are really good.
Bring them Thursday?
Today
Are we still on for Thursday?
Yes. 7pm, same place.
Perfect. I’ll bring the prints from the shoot so you can choose the two for the wall.
Can’t wait.

Just you, with consent
Record your side. Only after they allow it.
Recording is off until you start it. The other person sees the request and decides, and their camera and microphone are never recorded.
Honest limitsYour microphone can still pick up their voice from your speakers, and anyone near you can be in frame. Wear headphones, and review the whole clip before you keep or share it.
