PreCommit: Email Risk Assessment before action.

PreCommit helps teams check risky business email before someone replies, approves, pays, changes details, signs, or commits.

Risky business email now looks normal. PreCommit creates the pause before consequence.

Current email only. No mailbox scan. Nothing is sent automatically.

Company summary

What PreCommit is

PreCommit is building live Email Risk Assessment before action. The product is designed for moments where an email could trigger payment, approval, supplier-detail changes, legal position, operational action, or reputational exposure.

Why now

The risk is in the action, not only the message

AI makes risky messages easier to personalise and harder to spot. The danger is no longer only whether a message reaches the inbox. It is what happens when a normal-looking message asks someone to act.

Recent milestone

Current product status

PreCommit is moving through controlled pilot verification as a Google Workspace add-on.

What PreCommit does

The product behaviour

  • checks the current open email
  • classifies the risk as Safe, Review, or Stop
  • gives one safe next action
  • shows short reasons why
  • keeps Details secondary
  • leaves the human in control
What PreCommit does not do

Boundaries that matter

  • does not scan the whole mailbox
  • does not auto-send
  • does not auto-draft
  • does not approve payments
  • does not replace existing email security tools
  • does not act as a generic AI assistant
Story hooks

Angles that explain the category

We risk-assess work. Why not email?

The moment before consequence.

AI makes risky email look normal.

Email is no longer just communication. It is where business commits.

Safe / Review / Stop as a new business habit.

Founder note

Why James built it

PreCommit was created from a simple concern: as AI makes deception easier to produce and harder to recognise, people need better protection at the moment they are asked to act. The product is built around human control, bounded checks, and clear decisions before consequence.
