The assistant
Chat with your context and propose structured facts or actions.
The assistant is the chat built into Jackdaw. It answers using everything in your wiki and can propose structured facts or actions for you to review. It's docked alongside the app and follows you across every screen.
What it knows
The assistant reads your context the same way a connected AI does — your profile, the people in your life, your projects, decisions, and constraints. Ask "what am I working on?" or "what did I decide about the database?" and it answers from your graph, not from thin air. It also remembers what you've said earlier in a conversation, so you don't repeat yourself mid-thread.
It can propose facts and actions — you approve
Tell the assistant a durable correction, decision, preference, or constraint and it can stage the corresponding structured fact for review. It can also prepare supported actions without carrying them out.
"Remember that we moved off MySQL to Postgres."
The proposal is visibly separate from your notes and follows the normal review flow. The assistant never generates or edits wiki narrative, even after approval; the prose canvas is yours.
Save a chat as an agent
If a conversation turns into something you'd want to happen regularly — "summarize my unread email every morning" — save it as an agent and it runs on a schedule.
Conversation history
Your past conversations are kept in the assistant; revisit, rename, or delete them whenever. On desktop you can pop the assistant out to full screen or tuck it away; on mobile it slides up from the bottom.
Onboarding
The first time you sign in, the assistant runs a short onboarding to seed your profile — see Getting Started.
