Keep your context accurate
Use the inbox to review what Jackdaw inferred and keep the current state trustworthy.
Jackdaw is only as useful as the state people and agents can trust. The inbox is where inferred claims, identity details, corrections, and conflicts wait for review.
What lands in your inbox
Open the inbox from the bell icon (top right; it shows a count when there is something to review). These are the main kinds of things that wait there:
- Corrections and conflicts — when new information would replace what the team already established, both versions stay visible until the change is settled.
- Inferred suggestions — when a source or connected AI proposes something durable, it is staged here with its evidence.
- Identity details — names, roles, employers, and locations always wait because a wrong value can affect everything downstream.
Direct, non-conflicting facts can land immediately because you authored them. The rule is: We save what you tell us. We ask about what we figure out.
Approve or reject
Each item gives you two choices: Approve (it joins the current state) or Reject (it is logged as rejected, so the same suggestion does not keep coming back). There is no inline edit — if a value is close but not quite right, reject it and state the correct version in chat.
Know your fact types
Jackdaw stores facts by type, and the type changes how an AI treats them:
- Preference — something you usually want ("I prefer TypeScript"). The AI leans this way.
- Constraint — a hard rule ("never use
any"). The AI should follow it every time. - Rejection — an option you've ruled out ("don't suggest Vue"). The AI knows not to offer it.
- Correction — a fix to something Jackdaw had wrong. It invalidates the old fact instead of silently overwriting it, so there's a record of what changed.
The more precisely you phrase things — "never," "always," "I've ruled out" — the more accurately Jackdaw types them.
A simple weekly habit
Skim your inbox once a week. Approve what is right and reject what is noise. A smaller, current source of truth beats a large, contradictory one — and every person and agent benefits from the cleanup.
