Your desk & Needs you
When you come back, you don't dig through logs. Two surfaces catch you up: Your desk tells you what happened, and Needs you lists the few things waiting on your call.
Your desk
Your desk is the card at the top of your avatar's chat. It reads like a short handover note:
- The verdict first — whether everything went fine, and the one thing to look at if not
- What it handled — deliveries and routine work, with anything unusual called out separately; each line links back to where it happened
- Verification — for work that touched the outside world, how much has been read back and confirmed, and whether anything didn't match
- What's waiting on you — a count by type, with a shortcut to Needs you
When nothing happened, it says so plainly — "Nothing needed you." And when some part of the picture can't be read at that moment, it tells you that too, instead of pretending the day was quiet.
What lands in Needs you
Only two things ever land here: spending money, and actions that can't be undone. They arrive as four kinds of items:
| Kind | What it looks like |
|---|---|
| Your call | A judgment with recommended actions — approve the ones you want |
| Needs approval | A specific pending action, waiting for a yes or no |
| I want to ask you | A question — answer by picking an option |
| Open a conversation? | It suggests giving a bigger topic its own thread |
Items are grouped into standing calls and today's questions, so recurring judgments don't bury one-off ones.
Acting on items
Every item can be handled right on the list:
- Approve or Not now — the two everyday buttons
- Don't suggest this again — permanently mutes that suggestion
- Handle in chat — jumps to the conversation for anything that needs more context
- Repeated asks are merged into one line — approve the whole batch at once, and you'll see Approved N times before on things you've okayed in the past
Need to clear several at once? Select them with checkboxes and act on the selection together. Items that genuinely need individual attention say so and stay out of bulk actions.
If you miss something
Time-sensitive items show a countdown near the end. If one expires before you see it, it is auto-declined — never auto-approved — and left on the list marked "You didn't see this, so it was auto-declined." Missing a moment never silently spends your money.
