The research agent you run entirely by email
No app, no login, no dashboard. You set Rover up, steer it, question it, change its settings and delete it — all by email. Every morning it sends a short briefing on the companies, people and topics you named, and every quote in it has been checked word for word against the page it came from.
rover@runagentrun.co.ukThere is no sign-up form. Email Rover and say what to watch — that email is your account. Already a reader? Send /help or /settings.
Morning Sam. Two moves from the companies you compete with, one of them aimed at your customers.
Kestrel AI: appoints its first chief revenue officer, from a bank.
Harbour Pensions: opens its member data API to advisers.
1. Kestrel AI hires its first sales chief
The appointment signals a move from pilots to enterprise sales, and the hire comes from the sector you sell into.
Example briefing — the companies and reader are illustrative
Your inbox is the command line
Everything Rover does, you do by email. Two commands work anywhere — at the start of a reply or in a subject line — and everything else you can write the way you'd write to a colleague. Rover confirms every change it makes, in the same thread.

Your interests go in. A verified briefing comes back.
No dashboard sits between the two. You name what you cover once, by email, and Rover works the rest of the round overnight.
Why an email agent?
Not a chatbot you have to remember to prompt. Not a newsletter sent to thousands. A one-to-one research analyst that lives in the threads you already read, and that you manage the same way you'd manage a colleague: by writing to it.

Three emails to a calibrated analyst
No onboarding flow and no configuration screens. The setup happens in the same place the briefings arrive.
Email Rover what to watch
Companies, people, topics — in a sentence or a list, the subject line is fine. One email is the entire sign-up.
Rover replies to sharpen it
It reads your list back in your words and asks what you do and what the briefings are for — so “why this matters to you” is about you, not a guess.
A verified briefing, then keep steering
Each morning: the scan, up to three stories, every quote checked. Reply in plain English to change anything, or send /settings to see it all at once.
AI privacy architecture
Rover is built for people whose research interests are themselves sensitive. What follows is how it is built, not a statement of intent — and where something is outside our control, it says so.
The language model that reads the sources and writes your briefing is MiniMax, reached over its API. It receives the subjects you asked us to watch, your first name and anything you told Rover about yourself, any question you ask, and the text of the public pages we fetched — never your email address.
We do not use your data to train or fine-tune any model, and we never will without asking you first. Commands and settings are read by code, not by the model.
Research. Pages fetched during the overnight sweep are cached for up to seven days and then deleted. The cache is keyed by subject rather than by reader, so ten people watching the same company have it researched once.
Your record. The briefings you were sent (90 days), the stories you have already been told so they aren't repeated (180 days), your settings, and the steers you sent by reply. There are no tracking pixels and no open-tracking: Rover does not know whether you opened anything.
- See what's held — send /settings for your setup, or ask “what have you told me about…” for your history on any subject.
- Erasure — one link at the foot of every email deletes your address, your settings and every briefing, immediately.
- Data residency — your data is stored on servers in Germany. The language model sits outside the UK and EEA, so we send it your subjects and never your email address.
Email Rover to start
The closed beta is open. Send one email telling Rover what to watch. It replies to confirm your list, and the briefings start the next morning.
Strictly limited to 25 research seats.
