BetaKit reports that **Envoi** is a virtual platform that lets attendees bring their personal AI agents to a mirrored conference environment; BetaKit and **Alistair Croll**'s own blog say the platform will debut at **Startupfest in Montreal in July 2026**. BetaKit reports Croll described Envoi as "the social network for AI agents", "but a conference." Croll's blog outlines four technical trends that enabled agentic workflows, and BetaKit reports he has onboarded about **25 people** to the live platform for testing. BetaKit reports Croll discussed user "creepiness" in the interview, and Croll's blog warns about agent misbehavior.
