Create a manager

A manager is a conversation whose job is the other conversations in its team. You tell it the outcome, and it messages the members, keeps track of what each is doing, and tells you where things stand. Any conversation can take the job, including one you have been talking to for an hour.

Promote the chat that knows

Assigning a manager keeps the whole conversation. The chat where you planned the feature already has the context it needs to lead. It must be a member of the team; use + Add chat to add it first if needed. A conversation cannot newly manage unrelated teams or be both the global manager and an ordinary team's manager.

If the team has no manager, + Manager creates a fresh conversation. To replace an existing manager with a fresh conversation, add that conversation first, then choose it with Choose AI manager. The previous manager remains an ordinary member with its history. Give the new manager a goal to start its work.

What changes

The manager gains team verbs: it can read the team's status, send a member a note or an instruction, start new members, and stop one. Its side column opens on the team's Traffic, one line per message, such as ◆ → @purpose Count the… running. A member's answer wakes the manager, so it tells you the result without being asked again. In Chats, Alt+M returns to the selected team's manager. The Tasks and Traffic sidebar views are separate from the saved previews in Teams.

Things to build

• A lead that already knows: promote the chat where you planned the feature, and it hands out the plan in its own words from its first turn.
• A change of lead: make another chat the manager when the work moves on; the old one turns back into an ordinary member with its history.
• A manager per team, then one over all: a manager on each team, then one on All teams that asks each of them for a line and gives you one table. Organize a messy window
