Scoped permissions
Rio only touches the accounts and channels you connect — nothing broader, nothing implied. Grant and revoke scope per tool.
How Rio AI works
Connect your tools. Set the rules.
Connect your tools. Set the rules.
Your Apex Agent runs the rest — and clears every send with you.
Rio AI is the Apex Agent that lives inside the apps your team already runs. Wire it in once, tell it what it can touch, and hand off the busywork. It drafts, researches, chases and reports — but nothing leaves your walls until you say go.

These figures describe how the Rio AI product is built — setup steps, available connectors and approval modes — not client performance. The zero reflects the approval-gated design: nothing sends without your sign-off.
Apex Agent setup
Four steps to a working agent
No scripts. No prompt-engineering degree. Point Rio AI at your stack, draw the lines it can't cross, and it starts pulling weight the same afternoon.
Step 01 — Connect
Plug Rio into the stack you already run
A guided flow links Rio AI to Google Workspace, email, Slack, text and phone, your calendar and shared docs. OAuth only — you grant each scope explicitly and can pull any connection at any time. No exports, no data leaving your accounts.
Email & inbox
Calendar
Slack & chat
Docs & CRM
Step 02 — Guardrails
Draw the lines before it lifts a finger
For every channel you choose one of three postures: act freely inside limits, ask first, or read-only. Set spend and recipient caps, block domains, and mark topics off the table. Rio AI inherits your rules — and the default is ask before anything goes out.
Ask first · default
Auto within limits
Read-only
Step 03 — Assign
Give Rio a job description, not just a prompt
Spin up focused agents — inbox triage, follow-up chaser, meeting prep, weekly reporting, lead research. Each one carries its own scope, its own approval mode and its own guardrails. Turn any of them on or off without touching the rest.

Weekly reports
Step 04 — Act & report
It works while you don't — then shows its receipts
Rio AI does the drafting, chasing and digging in the background, then lines up everything that needs a human in one review feed. Approve, edit or hold with a tap. Every action it takes is logged, timestamped and reversible.

The approval model
Nothing leaves without your OK
That's not a checkbox buried in settings — it's how Rio AI is wired. Try the review feed below: this is exactly what an outbound draft looks like before it's yours to send.
Default posture: Rio drafts everything and waits for your tap before a single message goes out.
Re: Q3 renewal — 2 quick questions
Hi Dana — thanks for the updated quote. Before we countersign, two things: can you confirm the seat count carries the current tier discount, and can we lock the rate through Q1? Happy to hop on a 15-min call Thursday if easier.
Waiting for your approval
Illustrative sample draft — your choice here never actually sends anything.
You hold the pen. Rio just keeps it inked.
Rio AI is built for the businesses the big platforms overlook — teams that want leverage without handing over the keys. So the approval gate isn't optional, and it fails closed.
- Approval per item, not per session.Every outbound send, reply or booking is its own yes — approvals never blanket-carry to the next one.
- Scoped access, revocable in a click.Rio only sees the connections you grant, and you can cut any one of them the moment you want to.
- Full audit trail.What Rio read, drafted and sent — and when — all logged, timestamped and exportable.
- One pause button.Freeze every agent instantly. Rio stops, holds its drafts, and waits for you to come back.
Under the hood
Guardrails that come standard
Approval thresholds
Set limits per agent — recipients, spend, sensitivity. Anything past the line routes to you for a manual OK, every time.
Complete audit log
Every read, draft and send is recorded with a timestamp. Full transparency, exportable whenever your team or auditors ask.
Instant kill switch
One control pauses every agent at once. Rio halts, keeps its drafts on ice, and resumes only when you turn it back on.
Set it up once. Keep the last word forever.
Rio AI is Apex Intelligence's Apex Agent for the teams doing more with less — real automation, real guardrails, shipping now. We're just getting started, and so are you.
Illustrative sample scenario — the review-feed draft, recipient and copy shown above are for demonstration only and are not a guarantee or verified client result. Rio AI is an Apex Intelligence product; connector and approval behavior reflect current product design. Est. 2026 — just getting started.
