What shows up in Needs you?

Changes Vai proposes and is waiting for you to approve, items Vai flagged for your attention, and email that needs a reply or is unread.

What happens when I select Approve?

Vai does what it proposed. Select Decline and Vai won't do it, or Ask Vai to change it to adjust the proposal first.

Does Home use AI credits?

Reading Home doesn't. Asking Vai a question or having Vai draft a reply uses AI credits, like any Vai chat.

Why is Needs you empty?

You're caught up. Vai's proposals, flagged items, and unread email appear there when there are some. Vai needs Gmail connected to show your email.

Which plan do I need?

Home is on every plan. Your Hubs and Coming up show Hubs and bookings, which are on the Core plan and the Growth plan.

What does a team member see on Home?

Home shows the workspace they're working in, with only the Hubs assigned to them.

The short version

Home is where you start each day. It shows how many things need you, a box to ask Vai about your day, the Needs you cards where you approve or decline what Vai proposes and answer email, your Hubs and how each is doing, and your next bookings. Select Home in the rail.

Home is the first page you see. It tells you what needs you today and what Vai did while you were away. Select Home in the rail to open it.

What’s on Home

Your day at a glance. The date and a greeting, then how many things need you, such as “Three things need you.” or “Nothing needs you right now.”, and how many things Vai handled since yesterday.
Ask Vai. Type in Ask Vai about your day, a Hub, or what to do next, or select Brief me on today, What needs a follow-up?, or Draft replies to unread.
Setup. Until your business is set up, a card shows the next step and opens the Business Center. See How do I set up Visualist with Vai?.
Needs you. Cards for the decisions waiting on you. See below.
Your Hubs. Each Hub with its status: Vai working, Quiet, or Up to date. Quiet Hubs are grouped, and Show lists them. Select Create new Hub to start one. See How do I create a Hub?.
Coming up. Your next bookings.

Use Needs you

Needs you is a deck of cards. Move through it with Previous and Next, or the arrow keys. Each kind of card has its own actions:

Something Vai proposes. Vai asks before it does certain work, such as sending an email. Select Approve to let Vai do it, Decline to stop it, or Ask Vai to change it.
Something Vai flagged. Marked High priority or Flagged by Vai. Select Ask Vai to work through it, Dismiss to clear it, or Open to see it.
An email. Select Draft a reply with Vai to get a draft to review before anything is sent, or Open to read it.

When the deck is empty, it says “You’re caught up.”

To choose what Vai can do without asking, see What can Vai do?.

If something goes wrong

Your decision doesn’t go through. You see “Couldn’t send your decision. Try again.” Select the card’s action again.
There’s no email in Needs you. Connect Gmail. See How do I connect my email inbox to Visualist?.
Your Hubs is empty. Hubs are on the Core plan and the Growth plan. In a team workspace, ask the owner to assign you Hubs.

Good to know

Home shows the workspace you’re working in. To see another workspace’s Home, switch with the Working in chip in the top bar.

For the rest of the app, see How do I find my way around Visualist?.
