What agents can do

Set what each agent can do in every space.

Each space gets one of three levels: Off, Read, or Full use. Anything not allowed is denied.

Off
No access
The agent can't see the space or that it exists.
Read
Read-only
The agent can read the messages in that space. It can't post or change anything.
Full use
Post and reply
The agent can post and reply to messages in that space.

Some actions stay off until explicitly turned on

Each one removes a space for good or changes who is in it, so it could override the limits set on individual spaces.

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 Google Chat a single time and chooses which spaces it covers. Any space left out 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.

OffNo access
ReadRead-only
Full useRead, post, and reply in a single space
Example

A team comms agent.

An ops agent posts in #general and can read #engineering, but it can't open #leadership or delete a space.

Monitor activity

The security model

Top-tier security.

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

Everything runs through Bollard AI

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

Denied by default

Every space starts off-limits, and deleting spaces 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 Google Chat 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 space or message, and the decision. The record is readable and can't be edited after the fact.

Questions

Google Chat, answered.

Does connecting Google Chat hand Bollard AI your whole workspace?+
Only the spaces you add it to. The connection reaches the spaces you allow, and that sets the most any agent could reach. Bollard AI doesn't browse or copy your chat. It sits in front of it and checks every request the agents make, passing or blocking each one.
Can an agent delete spaces or remove members?+
Not unless you turn it on. Deleting spaces and removing members are held off by default, so an agent can post and read in the spaces you allow without ever removing a space or its people, 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 Google Chat 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 Google Chat, and the blocked attempt lands in the activity record with the reason.
How do we connect Google Chat?+
An admin connects the company's Google Chat once. Bollard AI seals the connection and builds the list of spaces to set rules for. From then on, all management happens in the Bollard AI dashboard.
