Local-first AI authorization

Let AI operate within clear permissions

VSELF is an AI task authorization, handoff, and review system. Define what AI may do, what it must not do, what evidence it must return, and when access expires; then hand off the task through an encrypted link, review the result, revoke authority, and share a record anyone can verify.

Workflow

01

Set clear limits for one AI task

Define the task, allowed and blocked actions, required evidence, and expiry. Sign it, then share the least-privileged AI link.

02

Copy AI handoff

Work only within this signed authorization. Return the result and supporting evidence for human review; the authorization is not final approval. Compare the returned work with the signed task and required evidence, then record your decision.

03

Verify authority and evidence before trusting the result · Stop an authorization at any time

Check the signature, controller DID, authorized scope, expiry, revocation state, and returned outcome record. The task room and future checks clearly show that the authorization has stopped.
