Watching it work

The Actions pane on your assistant’s page is the window into its thinking: every request it has worked on in a time window, expandable down to the individual steps it took. If you’ve ever wondered “what is it actually doing right now?” — this is the answer.

​

The feed

Actions are listed oldest to newest, one card per request. Each card shows what was asked and how it went, with a status pill: The footer keeps a running pulse: whether your assistant is working or idle, how many actions are running or waiting for input, and a Live indicator confirming you’re seeing events as they happen, with an “Updated” timestamp alongside.

​

Finding what you’re after

• The clock control scopes the feed to a time window — presets run from the last 30 minutes up to the last 7 days, plus Today and Yesterday. Scroll up past the top of the window and earlier history loads in.
• Search filters the whole timeline by text — jump straight to a specific request, or to any step inside one.
• Expand All / Collapse All opens or folds every card at once — handy when scanning a day’s work versus dissecting one job.

​

Inside a request

Expand a card and the whole story unfolds:

• The request — what you (or a schedule, or a trigger) asked for.
• The step timeline — each stage of the work, in plain labels: “Checking Contact Book”, “Searching for relevant guidance”, steps for code it ran, pages it read, messages it sent. Busy stretches fold into collapsible sections (“12 steps · 40s”) that expand when you want the fine grain — down to individual thoughts, tool calls, and results.
• The final response — the answer or result the work produced, called out at the bottom of the card.

You don’t need to understand every step — the point is that you can look. Nothing your assistant does is hidden from you.

​

What to use it for

• Trust-building — watch a few requests end-to-end early on, and the assistant stops being a black box.
• Verification — when a result looks off, the timeline shows exactly where things went sideways: which page it read, what it computed, what it sent.
• Live oversight — during a task run or a job you kicked off in chat, this is the play-by-play, streaming as it happens.
• Better corrections — a correction that names the actual misstep (“you used the current exchange rate at step three — use the quarter-open rate”) teaches far more precisely than “the number’s wrong.”

​

Spotting the learning moments

Two step labels in the timeline are the learning system at work:

• “Searching for relevant skills” / “Searching for relevant guidance” — at the very start of a piece of work, your assistant checks its libraries first. This is your past teaching paying off.
• “Storing reusable skills” — after the work finishes, a quiet review pass decides whether anything from this job is worth keeping. When you see this step, your assistant may be writing a new playbook or skill.

Your assistant doesn’t narrate this housekeeping in chat — it just happens. But if you’re curious what came out of it, ask (“what did you learn from that?”) or check the Guidance and Functions panes directly.
