What's shared?

Research and Inbox are two Bots on one account. Tap a thing that belongs to Research and see whether Inbox has it too.

Research

  • Its conversation
  • What it remembers
  • Its routines

Inbox

  • Its conversation
  • What it remembers
  • Its routines

The one cloud computer

Both Bots work here.

  • Files
  • Website logins
  • Installed programs

Tap one to see who has it.

Here are all six. The drawing shows where each one lives.

Both Bots have it

A file Research saved

Files live on the computer, and every Bot can see them. Inbox can open the report Research saved.

Why it matters One Bot can pick up where another left off. Ask for files to be kept in /workspace, the shared folder, so every Bot knows where to look.

Both Bots have it

A website you signed Research in to

The browser's sign-ins belong to the computer. Inbox opens the same site and is already signed in.

Why it matters You sign in once. From then on every Bot on your account can use that login, and signing out in one Bot's window signs the others out too.

Research only

Research's conversation

Each Bot keeps its own conversation. What you told Research isn't in Inbox's.

Why it matters Inbox starts without the background you gave Research. Tell Inbox yourself, or have Research save its notes as a file that Inbox can open.

Research only

What Research remembers

A Bot holds on to preferences and facts it picks up as it works. That memory stays with the Bot that learned it.

Why it matters Teach Research how you like a report laid out and Inbox still won't know. Tell each Bot the preferences its own job needs.

Research only

A routine Research runs

A routine belongs to the Bot you set it up with. It's listed in that Bot's details and no other Bot runs it.

Why it matters Delete Research and its routines are deleted with it.

Both Bots have it

A program Research installed

Installed programs live on the computer, so Inbox can use the tool Research installed.

Why it matters A computer update or a reset removes installed programs for every Bot at once. Files and logins stay.

What sits on the computer is there for every Bot: files, website logins and installed programs. Each Bot's conversation, memory and routines are its own.
