An Inbox of Decisions, Not Notifications
Notifications tell you something happened and leave you to figure out what to do. The AI Inbox does the opposite: each item is a decision waiting to be made - "vendor changed bank account," "payroll up 14%," "commission exceeds plan," "margin dropped 8%" - with the context, the exposure, and a recommended action already attached.

Every item is a decision with a recommended action
A notification is a dead end: "vendor bank account updated." So what? The AI Inbox turns that same event into a decision - "a vendor changed its bank account before a sixty-one thousand dollar payment; recommended action: hold and verify out-of-band before releasing funds." It does the same for a payroll run that jumped fourteen percent, a commission that ran past plan, or a margin that dropped eight percent. Each arrives with the reasoning, the dollar exposure, and what to do about it.
The kind of decisions it surfaces
| Signal | The decision in your inbox |
|---|---|
| Vendor changed bank account | Hold the payment and verify the new details out-of-band before releasing funds |
| Payroll up 14% | Review the delta - new hires, a bonus run, or an error - before it posts |
| Commission exceeds plan | Challenge the payout that ran past the plan cap and confirm the rule |
| Margin dropped 8% | Trace the driver - cost, price, or mix - before it compounds |
Built on the real governance spine
The AI Inbox is not a bolt-on alert feed. It builds on the governance decision endpoint that already runs today: any AI agent calls it before a money move, and it runs live OFAC SDN screening, delegated-authority and budget checks, and a vendor-bank-change anomaly check, then seals every verdict to a tamper-evident, recomputable evidence ledger. The Inbox is the human-facing surface of that spine - the vendor-bank-change item is a real detection the governance layer already makes, presented as a decision instead of a log line.
Where this is today
Frequently asked questions
What is the AI Inbox?
It is an inbox where every item is a decision rather than a notification - "vendor changed bank account," "payroll up 14%," "commission exceeds plan," "margin dropped 8%" - each with the context, the dollar exposure, and a recommended action, ending in approve, challenge, hold, or block.
How is it different from alerts?
An alert reports that something happened and stops there. The AI Inbox interprets the event, attaches the exposure and reasoning, and recommends what to do - so you act on a judgment call instead of triaging noise.
Is the AI Inbox live today?
The governance engine it builds on is live and tested, including the vendor-bank-change anomaly check and the evidence ledger. The single ranked inbox of decisions across business anomalies is in active development.
How does it catch a vendor bank-account change?
The governance decision endpoint runs an anomaly check when banking details change ahead of a payment. That real detection becomes an Inbox item with a recommended hold-and-verify action, and the decision is logged to a tamper-evident ledger.
