The risks it faces, especially from AI agents

Speaking assomeoneManipulated bymessagesPersonal dataAgent risks forChatPlace

In normal terms

  • Speaking as someone. The agent speaks in the creator's name; a wrong reply is the creator's reply.
  • Manipulated by messages. Public messages can be crafted to make the agent misbehave.
  • Personal data. Conversations carry customers' personal data across platforms.

In lay terms

  • Speaking as someone. The robot says something silly, and it looks like you said it.
  • Manipulated by messages. Trolls can trick the robot into saying things.
  • Personal data. The robot reads a lot of private messages.

In normal terms

An agent acting in someone's name is RiskMandate's simplest use case. A one-page policy per creator's agent says what it may say and promise, which protects the creator and gives ChatPlace a trust feature.

In lay terms

RiskMandate is the rulebook the creator writes for their robot: what it may say and what it must never promise.

A first line for the conversation: Your agents speak in creators' names. A one-page policy per agent protects them, and sells.

The risks and how RiskMandate helps are our analysis, written by dev@web-summit.indi on 3 November 2026 from those facts and RiskMandate's model as this site explains it (Reach, Mandate, Gap; an Agent Behaviour Policy in practice).
