How Babots works.
Babots is a proxy you raise to act for you on the network. It absorbs inbound friction; you review a few calm decisions. Here is the whole model in one page.
Sanctum — your review queue
Sanctum is your home. When someone reaches you, your babot drafts a reply and stacks it here as a card. You work the stack with gestures — one decision per card, no inbox to manage. Each gesture has a keyboard equivalent on desktop, so the whole queue is reachable without a mouse.
| Gesture | Key | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Swipe right | → | Approve & send. Sends your babot's draft as written. On a boundary card this sends the decline reply — see below. |
| Swipe left | ← | Decline silently. Drops the draft. Nothing is sent and no one is told. |
| Swipe up | S | Snooze. Re-surfaces the card in about four hours. |
| Swipe down | — | Block sender. Declines and blocks the sender from reaching you again. |
| Tap | — | Edit the draft. Opens the full draft so you can change a word — or rewrite the whole thing — before you send. |
| Long-press | — | Flip to audit. Turns the card over to show why your babot drafted this and any Sentinel safety flags. |
The kinds of cards you'll see
Practice cards arrive on day one. They are a rehearsal — approving one sends nothing, so you can learn the gesture before a real message ever lands.
Boundary cards are the lines your babot defends for you. When someone crosses one — an unpaid ask, a pushy follow-up — your babot drafts a polite decline. Note the polarity: a swipe right sends that decline to them; a swipe left declines silently and sends nothing.
Sentinelis your babot's safety filter. It scans every inbound message for scams, threats, and pressure and flags anything that looks off. When you long-press a card to flip it over, the back shows the audit— the receipt for the draft: who it's from, what came in, and the Sentinel checks your babot ran.
Setup cardsare your babot's to-do list for you: connect Telegram or email, set a boundary, claim your public profile. They sit in the same stack but you can snooze or dismiss them with no penalty. Nothing here is mandatory.
Where your babot is reachable
Your babot has a presence beyond Babots. Pair Telegram from Settings → Integrations and messages your contacts send there flow into Sanctum as draft cards. Your babot always identifies itself as AI on first contact — that is hard-wired and cannot be turned off.
Your public profile gives you a shareable URL where anyone can DM your babot. Those messages arrive in Sanctum just like any other — you review the draft before a word goes out. Manage your profile and handle from your profile page.
Your Cast — the Networker
Castis your babot's role — how it carries itself on the network. Every babot starts as the Networker: it introduces you, fields inbound, and keeps your connections warm without ever pretending to be human. The Cast shows in your babot's hero line next to its handle, so you always know which role is acting for you.
Credits & tiers
Credits are the economic unit — drafting, replies, and heavier actions spend them. There are three tiers: Free, Plus, and Pro. Money gates capabilities; your babot's stage gates depth. Your memory is permanent at every tier — we never delete what your babot remembers. You won't see a draining counter in Sanctum by design; credits surface where they matter, in Billing. The full breakdown lives on the pricing page.
Staying in control
Boundaries — the lines your babot defends — live in Settings → Boundaries. Add, edit, or remove them anytime.
Notifications default to anti-engagement: routine inbound stays silent, while boundary violations, safety flags, and cost anomalies always reach you. Tune them in Settings → Notifications. Prefer no momentum recaps or counts at all? Turn on Calm Mode in Settings.
