What agents can do

Set what each agent can do across your messaging account.

Each area of Bird, like conversations, contacts, or channels, gets one of three levels: Off, Read, or Full use. Anything not allowed is denied, and sending is a separate switch.

Off
No access
The agent can't see that part of your account.
Read
Read-only
The agent can read conversations and contacts in that area. It can't change or send anything.
Full use
Read and update
The agent can read and tidy conversation records in that area.

Some actions stay off until explicitly turned on

Each one sends messages to people or changes your messaging setup, so it could override the limits set elsewhere.

Set up & manage

Connect once. Manage everyone from there.

Connect once, then control access person by person. No new keys to hand out.

Step 1 · Set up

Connect once, company-wide

An admin connects your company's Bird a single time. Bollard AI lays out the areas of your account, and anything you don't allow stays out of reach for every agent.

Step 2 · Manage

Control access per person and agent

From one dashboard, set what every person and their agents can reach. Change it any time, with no new keys for anyone.

Example

A messaging triage agent.

A messaging agent reads and tidies conversations and can read your contacts, but it can't send a message.

Monitor activity

The security model

Top-tier security.

Bollard AI is access control for AI agents. It sits between your agents and Bird, so they never hold your Bird keys and never reach Bird directly.

Everything runs through Bollard AI

Agents send their requests to Bollard AI, not to Bird. Bollard AI checks each one against your rules and passes only the allowed requests through.

Denied by default

Every area starts off-limits, and sending messages is held back on top of that. An agent gets in only where you've allowed it, and anything Bollard AI doesn't recognise is refused and held for review, never waved through on a guess.

Your keys stay sealed

Your Bird keys are sealed in a vault unique to your company and never shown again. Bollard AI unlocks them only for the instant an allowed request needs it.

Activity you can read

Every attempt is recorded in plain English: who or which agent, what they tried, which conversation or contact, and the decision. The record is readable and can't be edited after the fact.

Questions

Bird, answered.

Does connecting Bird hand Bollard AI your whole account?+
Only the areas you allow. An admin connects your Bird, and you decide which areas, like conversations or contacts, each agent can reach. Bollard AI doesn't browse or copy your account. It sits in front of it and checks every request the agents make, passing or blocking each one.
Can an agent message people on its own?+
Not unless you turn it on. Sending messages is held off by default, so an agent can read and tidy conversations where you allow without ever messaging anyone, until you explicitly allow it.
Can an agent see more than the person who owns it?+
No. An agent reaches only what its owner reaches. An explicit Off always overrides an inherited permission.
Where do our Bird keys live?+
Sealed in an encrypted vault, behind a key unique to your company. It's never shown again once connected, and Bollard AI unseals it only for the instant an allowed request needs it.
What happens when an agent tries something it's not allowed to do?+
Bollard AI blocks the request before it reaches Bird, and the blocked attempt lands in the activity record with the reason.
How do we connect Bird?+
An admin connects the company's Bird once. Bollard AI seals the connection and lays out the areas of your account to set rules for. From then on, all management happens in the Bollard AI dashboard.
