Human in the loop and the autonomous agent problem
Envelope is a multi-agent designer tool that allows users to describe their AI workflow in natural language and get a complete sub-agent design. The tool exports a structured JSON document that describes every agent's role, tool access, and reporting relationship. Envelope is different from other tools like ChatGPT and workflow automation tools as it works at the design layer, helping users structure a multi-agent AI workflow.
- ▪Envelope designs multi-agent teams in minutes, allowing users to describe what they need and export a complete sub-agent design.
- ▪The tool provides a structured team definition, including roles, skills, model, tools, and handoffs, which can be stored in Git and implemented directly.
- ▪Envelope is free to start, with paid plans available for teams who need collaboration, version history, and org-wide sharing.
