Message
A business event arrives with its source, type, time, payload, and operating context.
The useful distinction
An AI Data Inbox is not one mandatory product type or giant company data store. It is an Inbox configured for the messages, context, agents, decisions, and evidence of a specific AI-assisted operation.
A business event arrives with its source, type, time, payload, and operating context.
Schemas and deterministic rules establish whether the message is usable and what may follow.
Purpose, permissions, limits, approvals, and eligible capabilities stay explicit.
A person, system, or agent performs permitted work and returns evidence as a new message.
Federated context
Customer, order, policy, finance, and agent context can remain in separate Inboxes. The operation receives only permitted messages, references, or outcomes.
The Inbox owns the business boundary.
