Bots

Bots are the teammates. Each one has a name, a role, and memory — chat with them in the roster, hand off jobs, and come back to finished results.

The roster#

The left sidebar lists every Bot on your team. Selecting one opens its conversation; unread work and pending approvals surface there. Your first Bot, Wayfind, is a chief of staff seeded automatically — a good default for anything you haven't assigned yet.

Creating a Bot#

Create a Bot with a name and a role that describes its job — “Aria, bookkeeping” beats “Assistant”, because the role shapes how it works and what it remembers. Pick a color and shape so you can spot it at a glance.

Memory#

Bots remember your workflows across conversations: how you like invoices reconciled, which mailbox is support, what “the weekly report” means. Corrections stick — tell a Bot once and it applies from then on.

Conversations#

Every Bot keeps its own conversation history. Ask follow-ups in the same thread and the Bot keeps context; start fresh any time. Long-running work continues in the background on your cloud computer — close the laptop, come back to the result.

Background work#

Bots can run routines on their own and check in when they need you. Anything sensitive — sending, paying, publishing, changing important records — pauses for your approval first. See Cloud computer for where this work runs.
