Assent documentation
Your agents ask, you assent. Approve, decline or reply to your AI agents, scripts and automations from your phone or the web.
Assent is the inbox for your AI agents. When an agent, script or scheduled job reaches a step it should not take alone, it sends you an ask. You answer from your phone or the web, and the agent picks up your answer and carries on.
What an agent can ask
- Approve or decline. The agent says what it wants to do and why. Approve and it carries on, decline and it stops.
- Pick the items. When an agent finds several things, it lists them. Keep the ones you want and it acts on just those.
- Reply with a draft. You see the drafted reply first and change what you like. Send sends exactly that text.
- Enter a code. When a sign-in sends you a one-time code, type it into the ask and the agent picks it up.
- Pay. The agent stops at the payment and sends you the page. You pay yourself, then tell it you are done.
- Sign in. The agent hands the sign-in to you. You sign in, then it carries on.
See Asks for every kind and option.
Answer once, not every time
- Always and Never. On an approval, tap Always or Never and choose how long it lasts. Until then, asks like it from that agent are answered for you. See Rules.
- Usual answers. When you keep giving an agent the same answer, Assent says so above the buttons. See Usual answers.
How agents connect
Anything that can send an HTTP request or call an MCP server can use Assent: coding agents, scripts, scheduled jobs and automations. Each agent gets its own agent key. See Connect an agent.
Where you answer
Everything works on the web. The iPhone app adds pushes the moment an agent needs you and answers from the lock screen. Answer buttons on the lock screen need Face ID or your passcode, and codes, payments and sign-ins always open the app. See Notifications.
Access
Assent is invite only for now. If you have an invite, open the link in your email to create your account, then sign in on your phone or the web.
