How the Leak Canary agent works
Every run reads from the tools you connect, works through its brief, and keeps what it learns in a persistent workspace, so context carries forward instead of starting from scratch.
Connect the ones you use. It works with what it has.

Keeps in its workspace
- Who the owner is: business, timezone, quiet hours, delivery channel
- The seeding playbook and the alias register: which vendor got which alias and fictional contact, when it was seeded, and what its normal mail looks like
A report after each run

Drafts that wait for you
Anything that leaves your business is written for your approval, not sent on its own.
Answers in chat
Ask it about its work any time from the agent's chat in your dashboard.
