❓Follow up when needed

If you see the SEND / PLAY button but expected more work, don't hesitate to ask the AI worker:

  • "What's the current status of my request?"

  • "Do you need any additional information?"

  • "Are you finished with the task I assigned?"

💡Important: Always read their responses!

Before giving new instructions, make sure to:

  • ✅ Read any questions the AI worker asked you

  • ✅ Answer their questions before they can continue

  • ✅ Confirm if they completed the task or need more guidance


Quick Tips for Smooth Collaboration 🤝

🔄 Keep Communication Flowing:

  • Check status messages regularly

  • Respond to any questions promptly

  • Give clear follow-up instructions when needed

⏰ Be Patient: Complex tasks (like web research or document analysis) may take a few moments. The status indicators help you know everything is working properly!

⚠️ Troubleshooting: If you are running into a problem and the AI worker is not responding, it could help to clear your cache / browsing history of the day and log in again.


💡 Pro Tip: Think of the status button as a simple traffic light - STOP means "working," PLAY means "ready for your next instruction!" 🚦
