The people building Agent Approve.

James Beno

Founder

I've spent over 25 years leading product design at security companies like WitnessAI, Skyhigh Security, and McAfee, with AI and machine learning training from Stanford and UC Berkeley. Over the last year, I've gone deep on agentic coding—building numerous projects with the help of agents.

It's never been easier to turn ideas into reality. But I've also felt every pain point. Agents stuck waiting for approval while I'm away from my desk. Autonomous agents behaving badly without oversight. Re-creating policies with every new tool. And watching your home directory disappear due to a hidden destructive command.

I built Agent Approve initially to fix all of this for myself: centralized policies, monitor your agents on the go, click to approve from your phone or watch. I get value from it every day, and I hope you will too.
