Talking to your agent
You do not need to hunt for buttons. Your agent executes plain-language requests through the same code paths as the buttons, so saying it and clicking it produce the identical result. Confirmation is asked only where an action deserves it.
Say it, it happens
| You say | What happens |
|---|---|
| "Alex is head of partnerships now" | The fact is saved to that person's file in your Memory |
| "Set my brief time to 7am" | Your morning brief reschedules |
| "Turn on deep research" | The capability toggles on, same as the switch |
| "Turn off email triage" | Toggles off |
| "Delete this conversation" | The conversation is deleted, after you confirm |
| "Forget that person" | The person is archived from your network, after you confirm |
These are deterministic actions, not model improvisation: the agent recognizes the intent and calls the exact operation the corresponding button calls. That also means safeguards hold; a settings request can only change the setting it names and nothing else.
What asks for confirmation
Two different gates protect you:
- Destructive changes (deleting a conversation, forgetting a person) require a one-tap confirm before they run. Deletes are real: a forgotten person is archived out of your network, not just hidden.
- Anything outbound (sending mail, creating calendar invites, messaging someone) is held behind an approval card. The card appears right in Chat and on Home with exactly what will be sent, to whom. One tap approves; Deny means nothing happens. This gate cannot be talked around: it applies no matter how the action was requested.
Everything else (facts about your people, preferences, capability toggles, brief timing) simply happens, and you can always say the opposite to undo it.
Asking, not just commanding
The same chat answers questions from your world, with sources: "what is the team saying about the launch?", "when did I last talk to a collaborator?", "what needs me before 10?". Compound requests work: "draft a follow-up about the launch and remind me Thursday morning."
