SamuraiAX Adds Per-Employee Proxy Bots to Its Samurai App OS
The design puts approval in front of every reply, which is how an agent product can answer colleague questions without the AI speaking for the employee on its own.

Kiva Co., Ltd. has added a proxy bot feature to Samurai App, the business AI agent OS inside its SamuraiAX service. Each employee turns on a personal proxy bot and sets the scope of questions it may answer. Colleagues ask the bot directly; the bot drafts a reply from that person's own materials and memory, and only drafts the person edits and approves reach the colleague. Unanswered requests expire after 72 hours.
Questions like meeting times, project status, and where a document lives interrupt work many times a day, even when the answer is short. Kiva's answer is not an autonomous assistant but a draft machine tied to one employee.
The person writes the scope on the Bot screen, and questions outside it are not answered. Replies sit in an inbox until the person edits the draft and presses approve and send; a rejection is also allowed. The person also chooses which functions, connections, and skills the bot may use, and writing operations ask for approval each time. The person who asked the question pays for the draft.
