Why open standards matter for AI infrastructure
Envelope is an AI agent designer that allows users to describe their workflow in natural language and generate a complete AI agent design. The tool exports a structured JSON document that describes every agent's role, tool access, and reporting relationship, following an open schema. This design document can be stored in Git, shared via link, or handed to an engineering team for implementation.
