The receipt inbox turns agent conversations into an accountability workspace.
What the product does
A conversational AI agent receipt inbox collects approvals, progress states, verified outcomes, failures, and access-closure records around individual tasks. It can live inside an iMessage or SMS conversation, a companion app, or a web inbox linked from messages.
The inbox is not simply a transcript. Conversations are chronological; accountable tasks need structure. A receipt inbox groups messages and source evidence by task, shows the current state without rewriting history, distinguishes completion from partial success, and lets the user follow up safely.
Core product promiseEvery consequential agent task has one place where the user can see what was requested, approved, executed, verified, failed, and closed.
The canonical receipt remains machine-queryable underneath. The conversation supplies the accessible interface: an outcome summary, secure detail link, and bounded reply actions such as DETAILS, REVOKE, RETRY, ROLLBACK, or FIX DNS.
Core capabilities
A useful inbox understands tasks, not just messages.
Evidence-backed status
Complete, partial, failed, rolled back, unverified, and attention states come from structured checks rather than conversational tone.
Secure detail access
Opaque, expiring, authenticated links expose structured evidence without leaking sensitive content into lock-screen previews.
Actionable replies
Replies create new policy-checked actions linked to the historical receipt instead of modifying the evidence record.
One task moves through four inbox states.
The inbox preserves the history of each transition while showing the current state clearly enough for a user to decide what happens next.
Waiting
The agent has reached a consequential step and requests approval with task, artifact, destination, consequence, and access lifetime.
- Approve, review, or cancel actions
- Immutable preview or item reference
- Clear authority request
Running
The approved task executes asynchronously. Progress updates are meaningful milestones, not a stream of every browser click.
- Grant issued and expiration visible
- Current stage and safe cancellation policy
- No secrets in messages
Receipt
Independent checks classify the result and generate a concise message from the canonical receipt.
- Outcome and failed checks first
- Verification and rollback status
- Explicit authority closure
Follow-up
The user can request details, revoke remaining access, retry under fresh policy, or start a remediation task.
- New action linked to old receipt
- Current state reevaluated
- Historical evidence remains immutable
Inbox model
Scan status first. Open evidence when needed.

Product surfaces
The inbox must bridge conversation and evidence.
THREAD
Conversation view
Shows request, approval, concise progress, final receipt, and follow-up actions in natural sequence while suppressing noisy low-level events.
RECEIPT
Detail view
Displays structured intent, approval, artifact, authority, execution, verification, failures, rollback, and closure with links to attributable evidence.
INBOX
Status view
Groups tasks by waiting, running, partial, failed, access-open, and completed states so consequential issues cannot disappear in chat history.
POLICY
Preference view
Controls channel, quiet hours, notification thresholds, secure-link behavior, retention, export, and which reply actions require step-up approval.
Buyer criteria
Evaluate the inbox as a control surface, not a notification feed.
| Capability | Strong evidence | Warning sign |
|---|---|---|
| Task correlation | Approvals, grants, execution, receipts, messages, and replies share stable task identity. | The product relies only on chronological conversation order. |
| Status integrity | States derive from canonical checks and closure evidence. | The language model freely decides whether a task succeeded. |
| Failure visibility | Partial, unverified, rollback, and access-open states have dedicated views. | Every task becomes either green or hidden. |
| Secure detail links | Opaque tokens, expiry, authentication, and recipient-aware policy are supported. | URLs expose predictable receipt IDs or sensitive task data. |
| Reply safety | Retries and remediation create new policy-checked tasks linked to immutable receipts. | A casual reply reruns privileged actions immediately. |
| Notification control | Severity, quiet hours, aggregation, channel choice, and opt-out are configurable. | Every agent event becomes a message. |
Production checklist
Minimum requirements for a trustworthy receipt inbox
Canonical receipt beneath chat
The message is a view of structured evidence, not the only record.
One current state, full history
Corrections append new evidence without erasing earlier claims.
Secrets excluded by design
Messages, URLs, previews, analytics, and exports redact sensitive values.
Access-open escalation
Any still-active sensitive grant remains prominent until closed.
Delivery state recorded
Provider acceptance, delivery, fallback, and duplicate suppression are tracked.
Export and deletion controls
Users can retrieve or remove receipt history under clear retention policy.
The inbox succeeds when a user can scan unfinished risk, trust completed work, and act on failures without reconstructing the agent's entire session.
Super workflow
Super can turn the existing message thread into the receipt inbox.
Accountability in conversation
The text-message AI assistant can correlate request, approval, execution, and verified outcome in the same thread. A companion inbox can organize those threads by task state without forcing users into a separate enterprise control panel.
For remote work, the computer-use cache can preserve safe browser setup while receipts show which sensitive sessions or grants were temporary. The inbox can keep access-open exceptions visible until remediation completes.
When an AI agent builds websites, Super can group preview approval, publishing state, Render verification, custom-domain failure, and deployment-access closure into one task thread with actionable follow-up.
FAQ
Questions about receipt inboxes
Is this different from a normal messaging inbox?
Yes. A receipt inbox understands task identity, approval state, authority lifecycle, verification, failure classes, and closure. It can present conversation chronologically while also organizing tasks by accountable state.
Does every agent message become a receipt?
No. Routine conversational responses can remain ordinary messages. Receipts are most useful for consequential actions, asynchronous tasks, temporary authority, user-visible changes, and outcomes that require verification.
How should multiple agents appear?
Every task should identify the responsible agent and runtime while the inbox provides filters across agents, accounts, destinations, and status. The user should never guess which agent used authority.
Can users reply to a completed receipt?
Yes, but replies such as retry, rollback, or fix should create a new action under current policy and link back to the immutable completed receipt. Details requests can open the existing evidence safely.
How long should the inbox retain receipts?
Retention should reflect task sensitivity, privacy risk, legal requirements, and user preferences. Products should support secure export and deletion while preserving clear correction history during retention.
