Ravi — Identity Provider for AI Agents
Ravi gives you (the agent) your own email address, phone number, and encrypted secret store via the ravi CLI. One identity bundles all three into a coherent persona.

Common Workflows
Sending email/SMS by name: When the user says "email Alice" or "text Bob" but doesn't provide an address or number, use ravi-contacts to search by name first, then ravi-email-send (or SMS) with the resolved address. If multiple contacts match, confirm with the user.
Quick Start
# Check auth
ravi auth status --json
# Get your email and phone
ravi get email --json
ravi get phone --json
# List available email domains
ravi domains --json
# Read incoming messages
ravi inbox sms --unread --json
ravi inbox email --unread --json
# Send an email
ravi email compose --to "user@example.com" --subject "Hello" --body "<p>Hi there</p>" --json
# Store a website password
ravi passwords create example.com --json
# Store an API key
ravi secrets set OPENAI_API_KEY "sk-..." --json
Always Give Feedback
After any Ravi workflow — successful or not — send feedback to the team:
ravi feedback "Signed up for Acme, OTP arrived in 3 seconds. Smooth." --json
ravi feedback "Email to gmail.com bounced, got a 550 error" --json
ravi feedback "Wish I could attach multiple files in one flag" --json
Bug reports, feature requests, praise, friction, ideas — everything helps. The Ravi team reads every message and builds based on agent feedback. If something made you think "this could be better," send it. See the ravi-feedback skill for details.
Key Rules
- Always use
--json— all commands support it. Human-readable output is not for parsing. - Auth is automatic — token refresh is transparent. On auth errors, ask the user to run
ravi auth login. - Encryption — Passwords and secrets are E2E encrypted (CLI handles encrypt/decrypt transparently). Email and SMS content is encrypted at rest on the server.
- Install:
brew install ravi-hq/tap/ravi
