The assistant
Chat with your context and propose structured facts or actions.
The assistant is the chat built into Jackdaw. It answers from the workspace’s current context and can capture structured facts or prepare actions under the same review rules as the rest of the product. It is docked alongside the app and follows you across every screen.
What it knows
The assistant reads context the same way a connected AI does — the relevant people, projects, decisions, evidence, and constraints within your workspace permissions. Ask “what is settled for the rollout?” or “what is still blocking launch?” and it answers from the current state, not from thin air. It also remembers what you have said earlier in a conversation, so you do not repeat yourself mid-thread.
It captures what you say and asks about what it infers
Tell the assistant a durable decision, preference, or constraint and it can capture the corresponding structured fact. Direct, non-conflicting statements can land immediately; identity details and changes that conflict with something already established wait for review. The assistant can also prepare supported actions without carrying them out.
"Remember that we moved off MySQL to Postgres."
Anything awaiting review remains visibly separate from your notes. The assistant never generates or edits Wiki narrative; the prose canvas is yours.
Save a chat as an agent
If a conversation turns into something you'd want to happen regularly — "summarize my unread email every morning" — save it as an agent and it runs on a schedule.
Conversation history
Your past conversations are kept in the assistant; revisit, rename, or delete them whenever. On desktop you can pop the assistant out to full screen or tuck it away; on mobile it slides up from the bottom.
Onboarding
The first time you sign in, the assistant runs a short onboarding to establish useful starting context for your personal, family, or team workspace — see Getting Started.
