Chat and tasks

Chat is where you talk to Ayoh Agent. Ask it anything about your mail, calendar, boards, notes and contacts, or ask it to do the work. It keeps going when you leave, and it can do things on a schedule.

Asking #

• Chat opens on a new conversation every time, with the cursor in the box (Ayoh, let's chat; after the first answer, Ask a follow up…). On a computer the bar over it reads New chat until the conversation has a name. On a new conversation three things to try sit under the name (What came in today that needs me? and two more): tap one and it is written in the box for you to change; nothing is sent until you press Enter. While your Inbox is still empty, a line under them says where mail arrives (Mail sent to you@your-domain lands in Mail.). Type and press Enter; Shift+Enter makes a new line.
• The column lists New chat, Scheduled, your Pinned conversations, then the rest, newest first. The heading over them is a menu of what the list shows: All chats, Shared, Private or Archived. An empty list says Nothing yet. On a phone the column is the ☰ drawer, a new chat is the round button beside the box, and pulling the list down refreshes it.
• While it works, one line says what it is doing — searching your mail, reading a page — and Stop ends the answer where it is.
• The + beside the box (Add context) attaches files — up to five, 10 MB each: PDFs, Word and Excel files, images, text — and switches connected apps on or off for the chat. The microphone turns what you say into text in the box.
• The conversation's name is written for you once it gets going. Pin, rename, archive or delete it from the ⋯ on its row, or from its name over the conversation.
• Delete all chats, under a line at the foot of the list's heading menu, asks first, then deletes every conversation, pinned and archived ones too, with their files and their links. One still being answered is kept. What the agent did in them (drafts, cards, notes, events) stays.
• Everything it can do, and what it may not, is in Ayoh Agent.

It keeps going when you leave #

• An answer carries on being written when you switch apps, lock the phone or close the tab — the work happens on the server, not in the browser.
• A blinking dot marks every conversation whose answer is still coming. Open it and you see the answer where it has got to, carrying on.
• When an answer finishes and you were not looking, your devices are told (with notifications on — see Notifications).

Scheduled tasks #

A scheduled task is something the agent does on its own: at a set time, on a repeat, or whenever you start it. Each run is a new conversation, and you are notified when it finishes.

1. 1Press Scheduled under New chat (on a phone, it is at the top of the ☰ drawer).
2. 2Press New task, or pick one under Start from a template — Daily briefing, Inbox triage, Meeting prep, Weekly review, Content ideas, Monitor a topic — to start from its wording and schedule. Give it a name, and write what to do — written to stand on its own, because each run starts fresh and does not see the chat you set it up in.
3. 3Choose how it Runs: Once on a day, Hourly, Daily, On weekdays, Weekly on the days you pick, Monthly on a day of the month (a month without that day runs on its last), or Manually, only when you press Run now. Then the time. Press Create.

• Or just ask in a chat: “every weekday at 8:30, summarize my inbox” sets one up.
• Times are in your workspace's time zone (Settings → General), and stay put when the clocks change.
• Your tasks lists them, sorted by Next run, A to Z or Newest first, each with when it runs next — or Paused, or Done for a one-off that has run.
• Notify me when this task finishes, under Advanced settings, is on to begin with. Off, a run's chat still waits for you, unread, in your list.
• Open a task to change it, switch Active off to pause it, Run now to try it straight away, or Delete task. Its Latest runs are listed there; tap one to read it.
• A run's answer is what you receive, so write a reminder as what it should say: “remind me to stretch” rather than “save a note”.
• If a task fails three times in a row it pauses itself, so it does not keep spending credits; switching it back on starts the count again. Deleting a task keeps the chats its runs made.
• Up to 20 tasks per workspace.
• On a phone, pull the page down to refresh it.

Memory #

• With Remember across conversations on (Settings → Agent → Memory), the agent keeps short facts about you and your work — “Greg is my accountant” — and uses them in later chats.
• Say “remember…” or “forget…” in a chat, or add, change and delete them in Settings. Nothing is kept with it off, and each conversation starts fresh.
• Memories stay in your workspace and out of shared chat links.

Sharing a conversation #

The share button at the top right of a conversation, a lock and Private or a globe and Shared, opens the choice. Anyone with the link makes a read-only public link; Only me takes it away again, after asking. Copy link is there either way: the public link once there is one, the conversation's own address until then. A shared conversation has a dot in your accent color at the end of its row (point at it and it says Shared chat), and Shared in the list's heading menu lists only those. Your agent's memories are never part of what the link shows.
