WHERE IT ASKS FIRST

It's built to wait for your OK.

It does the work, then stops with the Slack post ready for you. You see exactly what it wrote, then Send, Edit or Deny.

If it hits a sign-in, you sign in yourself. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers.

The recap.
MAKE IT ALWAYS ON

Do it once. Then let it repeat.

When it's done, it offers to keep doing it: every Monday at 9:00 AM. Each run goes through the API it learned the first time, so it's quick, and it's still built to ask before it sends or pays.

Always-on automations are in early access on Mac.

FAQ

Before you ask it.

What do I say?

Press fn (Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux) and ask out loud, in your own words, like "Did last week's launch work? Pull adoption and day-7 retention from PostHog and Mixpanel and draft a recap for #product."

Why is the second time faster?

The first time, it writes small JavaScript tools for PostHog, Mixpanel and Slack and builds an API from each site's own buttons, forms and requests. After that it calls them directly, so the job runs in one go instead of click by click. It costs less and breaks less.

Will it send anything without me?

It's built to ask first before it sends a message or pays for anything, and to wait for your yes. It may not recognize every send or payment, so keep an eye on tasks that involve messages or money. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers: you sign in yourself, and it picks up from there.

Why not just do it by hand?

Everyone moves on after launch, and nobody checks whether it worked until the quarter review.

Can it keep doing this on its own?

Yes. When it's done it offers to make it automatic (every Monday at 9:00 AM). Each run goes the same way and is still built to ask before it sends or pays.
