On Your Behalf
On Your Behalf
Beemy drafts and sends as you. This page names what the other person gets. It also says whether you owe them a word about it.
The short version
Ten kinds of message never send without your say-so. Four small, low-stakes ones can, once you switch that on. Every message still runs on a permission you gave, either for the category or for the message itself.
On this page
What the other person sees
The recipient sees a message from you. What stands behind it depends on the rung.
- Read-only. Nothing leaves your account. Beemy only reads and files, so the other person sees nothing new at all.
- Draft-only. Beemy writes a draft, and you press send. The message is yours, because you read it first.
- Scoped autonomy. Only the four categories named below can move without a tap from you. Everything else still waits in your drafts.
You set the rung yourself, category by category. The two lists below name which categories can ever move alone.
What Beemy will never send alone
Ten categories that always wait for you. Exclusion always wins.
These categories escalate to you every time, whatever your autonomy dial says. A category on this list can never move to the safe list below.
Payments
Any message that moves money, or confirms that it moved.
Invoices
A bill, a quote, or an invoice number going out.
Financial commitments
A promise to pay, refund, or spend a specific amount.
Legal commitments
Anything that binds the reader to a legal term.
Contracts
A contract, or an agreement waiting on a signature.
Hiring and firing
An offer, a rejection, or a termination.
Apologies
Saying sorry to someone, on the reader's behalf.
Bad news
Turning someone down, or passing on a setback.
Promises
A commitment to do something specific, by a specific date.
First contact with a VIP
The first message ever sent to someone the reader has flagged as important.
What it can send alone
Four categories, and only once you switch them on.
These are the only categories a grant can ever raise to auto-send. Each one is low-stakes on its own terms: nothing here commits you to money, a decision, or a relationship.
Meeting confirmations
Confirming a time that both sides already agreed.
Scheduling acknowledgements
A quick yes to a scheduling request, nothing new proposed.
Simple acknowledgements
A plain "got it, thanks" reply, with no decision inside it.
Routing and filing
Moving a message to the right place, not replying to it at all.
The six ceilings
Six rules in the code, not just this page.
Every rule below runs in the backend on every request. This page states them; it doesn't set them.
An excluded category, or any high-stakes action, always escalates to the reader. It never sends on its own, at any autonomy level.
backend/src/policy/policyEngine.ts, evaluate(), ruleId "excluded-or-high-stakes"
A novel or unfamiliar action escalates too, rather than executing unattended.
backend/src/policy/policyEngine.ts, evaluate(), ruleId "novel"
With no grant on record for a category, Beemy defaults to read-only. It never assumes permission to act.
backend/src/policy/policyEngine.ts, getLevel()
Even at scoped autonomy, an off-list category still waits for your approval.
backend/src/policy/policyEngine.ts, evaluate(), ruleId "not-safe-category"
The reader cannot grant auto-send for an excluded or unsafe category. The system refuses the grant itself.
backend/src/policy/grantService.ts, grant()
Turning autonomy up moves one step at a time, always through draft-only first. Turning it down needs no such step, and always works.
backend/src/policy/levels.ts, canTransition()
Should you tell people?
It goes out on your permission. Say so anyway when it helps.
Every message above goes out on a permission you gave. For the four categories you switched on, you allowed the category itself. For everything else you approved that one message, or wrote it. You don't have to disclose Beemy, any more than a scheduling tool or a spellchecker.
Mention it anyway in a new relationship, or if your workplace has its own policy on assisted writing. Mention it too if someone might ask how you replied so fast. None of that changes what Beemy can send alone: the ten categories above still wait for you.
