What escalate does

escalate is an AI agent workspace. You connect the accounts you already use, then ask agents to handle real tasks: summarize and triage your inbox, schedule meetings, organize files, draft documents, update spreadsheets, file tickets, or run multi-step workflows across several tools at once. Every agent runs under your account, with your permissions, and nothing irreversible happens without you.

How escalate uses your Google account

When you connect Google, escalate requests only the scopes the connectors you enable actually need: Gmail (read, organize and send mail you have reviewed), Google Calendar (view and manage events), Google Drive, Docs, Sheets and Slides (find, read, create and update files), Contacts, Tasks, Meet, YouTube, Google Photos, Google Fit and Google Nest. Your data is fetched per request to fulfill the task you asked for, is never sold, is never used for advertising or to train models, and every write action (sending mail, editing files, changing events) requires your explicit in-product approval first.

escalate's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Google user data is used only to provide or improve the user-facing features you use in escalate. It is not transferred to anyone except as needed to provide those features, for security purposes, to comply with applicable law, or in a merger or acquisition with your prior notice and consent. It is never transferred to advertisers, data brokers, or information resellers, never used for advertising, and never used to develop or train generalized or non-personalized AI or machine learning models. No human reads it except with your affirmative agreement, for security or legal reasons, or in aggregated anonymized form. The full policy is at escalate.me/privacy.

Agent proposes. You authorize. escalate executes.

Agents draft a plan you can inspect, each sensitive step waits for your approval, and everything the agent did is recorded in a full audit trail. Connections can be revoked at any time from your dashboard or from your Google account settings.

Connect 200+ tools through one catalog

escalate ships a catalog of more than 200 connectors covering email, calendars, files and docs, team chat, project management, CRM, finance and payments, developer tools, e-commerce, smart home, and more: Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slack, GitHub, GitLab, Linear, Jira, Notion, Stripe, PayPal, Shopify, Square, Salesforce, HubSpot, Dropbox, Figma, Discord, Telegram, Spotify, Zoom, and the long tail of SaaS. Each connector is a typed, sandboxed service wrapping one external API, with a pinned network allowlist so it can only reach the hosts it declares. Browse the full catalog at escalate.me/explore.

A policy gate, not just a chatbot

Hosted chat products let a model act with your full credentials. escalate gates what an agent can actually do: a policy engine classifies every proposed action, read-only calls can flow automatically, and every write (sending mail, editing files, moving money, changing events) queues for explicit human approval with full context. Organizations can set per-agent quotas, per-tool budgets, and approval rules. Every tool call, approval, denial, and result lands in an audit trail you can review per agent, per connector, and per organization.

Security and confidential computing

Credentials live in an encrypted locker and are injected into the connector at call time only; the agent sees tool results, never tokens. Sensitive workloads run inside hardware-attested confidential computing environments (AMD SEV-SNP trusted execution), and escalate publishes cryptographic measurements so you can verify exactly what code handled your data. Connections are revocable at any time. Read more at escalate.me/security.

Where you use escalate

The web dashboard gives you agent chat, connector and credential management, an approval inbox, the audit log, and shareable dashboard apps that render live data from your connectors. iOS and Android apps handle chat and one-tap approvals via push notification. The open-source escalate CLI doubles as an MCP server, so local AI tools such as Claude, Claude Code, and Cursor can call escalate-gated tools while policy, approvals, and audit stay enforced server-side. Scheduled routines run agents on a cron without a human at the keyboard, still subject to the same gates.

Plans

escalate offers a Free tier, paid Pro and Team tiers with higher rate limits, write access, and more seats, and an Enterprise tier with dedicated or self-hosted workers, SSO, and custom SLAs. Current details at escalate.me/pricing.

Frequently asked questions

What is escalate?

escalate is an AI agent workspace by Escalate Labs. You connect the accounts you already use and AI agents do real work across them: triage email, schedule meetings, organize files, update spreadsheets, file tickets, and run multi-step workflows spanning several tools. Agents propose, you authorize, escalate executes with a full audit trail.

Is my data safe?

Every connector runs in an isolated container with a pinned egress allowlist; credentials are injected at call time and never enter the agent's context. Your data is fetched per request to fulfill the task you asked for, is never sold, is never used for advertising, and is never used to train models.

How is escalate different from using Claude or ChatGPT directly?

Chat products talk to you; escalate gates what your agent can actually do. It adds the connector catalog, a policy engine, human-approval flows, per-tool isolation, and an audit trail, and it works with your existing AI tools through MCP rather than replacing them.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes. iOS and Android apps cover chat, notifications, and the approval inbox, so a push notification and one tap approve an agent's pending action.

Can I self-host?

Enterprise customers can run escalate workers on their own Kubernetes cluster; the standard plans are fully managed SaaS.
