Chief of Staff

1. Open the Briefing tab. The headline card summarizes your day in one sentence; click Listen to hear a spoken version.
2. Items are grouped into sections in priority order: Priorities, Blockers, Approvals, Pipeline, Today (meetings and calendar), and Runway. Each item shows a severity pill (Critical or Attention) and opens its source module when clicked.
3. The left rail's At a glance panel shows your runway (with the change since your last check-in), pending approvals, and Today's mix — how the day breaks down across priorities, blockers, pipeline, and calendar.
4. A new briefing is generated automatically every morning at 7:00 am in your organization's timezone. Click Refresh any time to regenerate it with the latest data.

Each item has quick actions:

• Do it — appears on items with an executable action (for example, "Send reminder" on an overdue invoice). If you're an owner or admin, your tap approves and runs the action immediately; otherwise it's queued in the Approval Center for an admin.
• Ask Commodore — hands the item to the built-in chat with full context so you can dig in.
• Mark done — clears the item and teaches the engine it mattered to you.
• Snooze until tomorrow — hides it until the next briefing.
• Dismiss — hides it and keeps it from resurfacing for two weeks.

Every done/snooze/dismiss quietly tunes what future briefings prioritize.

Click Chat in the header to open "Chat with your Chief of Staff" — ask anything, and it routes across the company ("What's blocking the raise?", "Summarize this week's pipeline movement"). On smaller screens the chat opens as an overlay.

1. Open the Approvals tab — the Approval Center. Anything your AI agents want to do on your behalf waits here; the tab badge shows the pending count.
2. Each card shows which agent asked, when, what the action is, and a plain-language summary. Click Show details to inspect exactly what would be sent or changed.
3. Owners and admins can:
   • Approve — confirms with "Your agent will execute this action now. This can have real effects." then runs it.
   • Reject — declines the action.
   • Cancel request — withdraws it (anyone can cancel).
4. Use the Pending / All toggle to see history: Approved, Rejected, Cancelled, and Expired requests. Unattended requests expire on their own.

1. Open the Autonomy tab (visible to Owners/Admins only).
2. Under Agent autonomy, each agent capability has a dropdown with two choices:
   • Ask every time — the action always routes to the Approvals tab (background agents) or shows a confirmation card (chat).
   • Auto-run (no approval) — the agent may run it on its own. Capabilities are labeled External (touches the outside world) or Internal (stays inside Nautis). Every action — automatic or approved — is audit-logged.
3. Below it, What matters most right now holds six priority sliders that shape tomorrow's briefing: Revenue at risk, Runway & burn, Deals & fundraising, Team health, Marketing & brand, and Everything else. Set each from Lower to Top of mind and click Save — "Priorities saved — tomorrow's briefing will use them." The weights also learn automatically from your done/snooze/dismiss decisions.

Open the History tab for the full trail of daily briefings, plus Weekly digests (generated Monday mornings) and Evening debriefs if your organization has them enabled. Click any entry to read it exactly as it was that day.

On your Dashboard, the Today's briefing card shows the headline, your runway, a "needs approval" chip, and the top four items. Use the chevron to collapse it, the refresh icon to regenerate, or X to hide it — a slim bar with a Show button remains so you can bring it back. These preferences are remembered per browser.
