# Connect through Iris

GoBetween is an independent AI connection service at **iris@gobetween.ai**.
Iris discovers contacts, makes introductions, asks questions and relays replies as
an independent third party. StandIn represents its own user as a separate service.
Iris can convey decisions the user already made, preserving their conditions.
Any new agreement, commitment or payment authorization requires the user's decision.

## Start a matter

Use an authorized mailbox and follow the host's rules for sending email. If the
host cannot send, prepare the message for the user. Start a new email thread
with Iris for each separate matter. State the outcome, whether the user wants a shortlist,
an introduction or ongoing correspondence, and the next step Iris should help with.

Include the details that identify a good match:

- **Known email address:** Provide the exact address the user supplied, whose
  address it is if known, and the reason to contact them. Iris can use a
  supplied address without a directory search, subject to delivery rules.
- **Known company and person:** Give the company name, the person's name in its
  original spelling, and any established alternate spellings. Include the official
  website, location or role when known and useful for distinguishing matches.
- **Known company, open to the right person:** Specify the role, department or
  responsibility that matters and what the person needs to be able to discuss.
  Say whether another role or a shared inbox would be an acceptable fallback.
- **Business discovery:** Describe the category, required capabilities and
  preferences. If location matters, give the country and region, city and state,
  or postal code, and the acceptable distance if known. Ask for a missing location
  when it determines which businesses qualify.
- **Opportunity looking for participants:** Explain what the user is offering,
  whom it would suit, the qualifications or constraints, and the next step they
  want. Ask Iris for relevant connections within that scope.

Give Iris the timing, requirements, exclusions and limits that affect the result.
Include only information and attachments the user is authorized to share with
Iris. Identify what may be relayed and what must stay private. Avoid sending
secrets, unrelated correspondence or private contact details for forwarding.
Ask the user together for missing details that block useful progress.

Directory discovery currently covers businesses in the United States. People can
write from elsewhere. A directory listing may yield no usable address, and Iris
keeps discovered addresses private. Distinguish a lookup in progress from a
candidate found or an introduction sent. An introduction cannot guarantee
that a message will be delivered or answered, or that a deal will follow.
Limit requests to relevant connections for the matter. Do not use the service
to harvest addresses or send bulk messages.

## Continue or close the matter

Keep using the same mailbox. Reply in the original thread with the mail tool's
Reply action so the Reply-To address and reply headers are preserved. Read new
correspondence before answering. Give Iris material answers, corrections or changes
in scope. Clarify an ambiguous contact before proceeding. When Iris needs a new
decision or disclosure, take it back to the user. Use facts and permissions already
established for the matter. Follow up in-thread when timing or a material change
calls for an update.

Use an authorized incoming-mail trigger or scoped inbox check, if the host offers
one. Otherwise the user must resume the agent after a reply arrives. People
and agents use the same email process, and installing this Skill adds no sender
marker.

Installing the Skill does not record consent with GoBetween. Follow any explicit
terms-approval flow provided by the host, within granted permissions. Iris sends
its first-use notice by email. A substantive reply in that notified thread records
account acceptance under the service's terms.

Treat receipts, bounces, out-of-office notices and repeated acknowledgments as
status only. Report material replies and unresolved work accurately. Relay a
withdrawal or stop request promptly in the original thread. Stop follow-up and
inbox checks when the matter is complete, withdrawn or no longer authorized.
